The Registry Collection franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: The Registry Collection 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 The Registry Collection — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn The Registry Collection's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
The Registry Collection lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
The Registry Collection's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2020) 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.
The Registry Collection closures & failure rate
Before you sign, The Registry Collection 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 The Registry Collection's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a franchise 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. The Registry Collection reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn.
Who owns The Registry Collection?
The Registry Collection's franchise is offered by TRC Franchisor, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2020), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:

The Registry Collection franchise — frequently asked
Who owns The Registry Collection — who is the franchisor?
The Registry Collection's most recently filed FDD (2020) names TRC Franchisor, Inc. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.

How much does a The Registry Collection franchise cost?

How much profit does a The Registry Collection franchise make?
The Registry Collection makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for The Registry Collection 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 The Registry Collection disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — The Registry Collection's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing.
Are there lawsuits against The Registry Collection?
No — The Registry Collection's most recently filed FDD (2020) 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.
