How much does a Paris Baguette Family franchise make?
Paris Baguette Family 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 $3,050,434 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.
Paris Baguette Family 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 Paris Baguette Family's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Paris Baguette Family franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Paris Baguette Family franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $3,050,434 of revenue, a 5% royalty alone is about $152,522 a year before any other cost.
Paris Baguette Family lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Paris Baguette Family's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Paris Baguette Family closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Paris Baguette Family 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 Paris Baguette Family'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. Paris Baguette Family's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 1.1%, against a food & beverage median of 3.3% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +75 to 261 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Paris Baguette Family?
