Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi franchise profit — what the FDD discloses

Plainly: Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi 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 Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi — 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 Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.

Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi 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 Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi'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. Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.

Who owns Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi?

Wild Blue AFC Advanced Fresh Concepts Zenshi's franchise is offered by ADVANCED FRESH CONCEPTS FRANCHISE CORP — 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:
