Tell us your budget and the industries you're open to. We'll match you with 5–10 franchises whose own FDDs fit — ranked by earnings disclosure, growth and closure rate — and email you the list. Paniq will be on it if it fits.
Paniq franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Paniq does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Paniq — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn Paniq's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Paniq lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Paniq. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Paniq closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Paniq 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 Paniq's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other 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. Paniq's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Paniq?
Paniq's franchise is offered by Paniq Franchising, INC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
Other franchises at a similar investment level
Anyone weighing Paniq is really weighing it against the other brands their money could go into. These are the closest by total initial investment (FDD Item 7), each with its own FDD-based page.
Paniq franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Paniq — who is the franchisor?
Paniq's most recently filed FDD (2025) names Paniq Franchising, INC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Paniq franchise cost?
Paniq's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at a range disclosed in Item 7, with an initial franchise fee of $25,000. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote.
How much profit does a Paniq franchise make?
Paniq makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Paniq at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Paniq disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Paniq's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing.
Are there lawsuits against Paniq?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Paniq: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
Is Paniq a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Paniq's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against other peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
