Slime Kitchen franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Slime Kitchen 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 Slime Kitchen — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn Slime Kitchen's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Slime Kitchen lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Slime Kitchen's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) 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.
Slime Kitchen closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Slime Kitchen 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 Slime Kitchen'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. Slime Kitchen's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Slime Kitchen?
Slime Kitchen's franchise is offered by Slime Kitchen Franchise, Inc. — 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.

Slime Kitchen franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Slime Kitchen — who is the franchisor?
Slime Kitchen's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Slime Kitchen Franchise, 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 Slime Kitchen franchise cost?
Slime Kitchen's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $105,500 – $169,500, with an initial franchise fee of $25,000 and a 5% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against other peers it sits in the upper quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a Slime Kitchen franchise make?
Slime Kitchen makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Slime Kitchen 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 Slime Kitchen disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Slime Kitchen's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing.
Are there lawsuits against Slime Kitchen?
No — Slime Kitchen's most recently filed FDD (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
Is Slime Kitchen a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from Slime Kitchen'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.
