Shilo Inns franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Shilo Inns 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 Shilo Inns — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (50% of travel & hospitality franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Shilo Inns's FDD does contain are on this page.

Shilo Inns lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Shilo Inns. 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.
Shilo Inns closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Shilo Inns 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 Shilo Inns's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a travel & hospitality 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. Shilo Inns's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Shilo Inns?
Shilo Inns's franchise is offered by Shilo Inns, Franchise, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), 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.

Shilo Inns makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Shilo Inns 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.
