The StandardX franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: The StandardX 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 StandardX — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn The StandardX's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
The StandardX lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
The StandardX'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.
The StandardX closures & failure rate
Before you sign, The StandardX 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 StandardX'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 StandardX's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns The StandardX?
The StandardX's franchise is offered by Hyatt Franchising, L.L.C. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), 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 StandardX franchise — frequently asked
Who owns The StandardX — who is the franchisor?
The StandardX's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Hyatt Franchising, L.L.C. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. The same franchisor also files FDDs for Hyatt Centric, Hyatt Studios, Thompson Hotels, Thompson Hotels®. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a The StandardX franchise cost?
The StandardX's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at a range disclosed in Item 7 and a 5% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote.
How much profit does a The StandardX franchise make?
The StandardX makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for The StandardX 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 StandardX disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — The StandardX's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing.
Are there lawsuits against The StandardX?
No — The StandardX's most recently filed FDD (2026) 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 The StandardX a good franchise to buy?
