How much does a ZAGG franchise make?
ZAGG 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 other brand that discloses earnings in the Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.
ZAGG 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 ZAGG's 5% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a ZAGG franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "ZAGG franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.
ZAGG lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for ZAGG. 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.
ZAGG closures & failure rate
Before you sign, ZAGG 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 ZAGG'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. ZAGG's latest tables show a shrinking franchised network — more units left than opened. Net franchised outlets moved -1 to 98 in the latest reported year.
Who owns ZAGG?
ZAGG's franchise is offered by MMI-JS, LLC dba Retail Channel Partners — 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 WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

ZAGG franchise — frequently asked
Who owns ZAGG — who is the franchisor?
ZAGG's most recently filed FDD (2026) names MMI-JS, LLC dba Retail Channel Partners as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a ZAGG franchise cost?
ZAGG's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $10,000 – $49,000 and a 5% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against category peers it sits in the top quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a ZAGG franchise make?
ZAGG discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (5% of gross for ZAGG), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any ZAGG franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.
Does ZAGG disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
Yes — ZAGG reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.
Are there lawsuits against ZAGG?
We do not publish a litigation answer for ZAGG: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
Is ZAGG a good franchise to buy?
Nobody can answer that from ZAGG's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against category peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
