How much does a Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt franchise make?

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $208,433 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations). See every food & beverage brand that discloses earnings in the Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $208,433 of revenue, a 5% royalty alone is about $10,422 a year before any other cost.

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a food & beverage of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt's latest tables show a stable franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved 0 to 61 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt?

Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt's franchise is offered by Orange Leaf FC, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
