How much does a Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham franchise make?

Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every travel & hospitality brand that discloses earnings in the Hotel, travel & hospitality franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come the royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

We do not publish a litigation answer for Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.

Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list.

Below is what Wingate, Wingate by Wyndham's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a travel & hospitality of this kind.
