Village Juice Company franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Village Juice Company 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 Village Juice Company — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (42% of food & beverage franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Village Juice Company's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Village Juice Company lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Village Juice Company'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.
Village Juice Company closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Village Juice Company 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 Village Juice Company's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a food & beverage 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. Village Juice Company's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Net franchised outlets moved -1 to 4 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Village Juice Company?
Village Juice Company's franchise is offered by VILLAGE JUICE CO. FRANCHISING 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 MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

How much profit does a Village Juice Company franchise make?
Village Juice Company makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Village Juice Company at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate.
