Tile Liquidators franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Tile Liquidators 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 Tile Liquidators — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (65% of retail franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Tile Liquidators's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Retail franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Tile Liquidators lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Tile Liquidators'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.
Tile Liquidators closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Tile Liquidators 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 Tile Liquidators's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a retail 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. Tile Liquidators's latest tables show significant franchisee turnover. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 18.2%, against a retail median of 4.3% — worse than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +8 to 19 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Tile Liquidators?
Tile Liquidators's franchise is offered by Tile Liquidators, 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.

Who owns Tile Liquidators — who is the franchisor?

How much profit does a Tile Liquidators franchise make?
Tile Liquidators makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Tile Liquidators 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.

Are there lawsuits against Tile Liquidators?
No — Tile Liquidators'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.
