Food & beverage franchises — frequently asked
What is the best food & beverage franchise?
"Best" is a claim the FDD numbers have to back: we rank food & beverage brands that disclose Item 19 earnings AND beat the category's median closure rate. 7 Brew currently tops that list with a 0% franchised-outlet closure rate; 15 food & beverage brands qualify. See Best Food & beverage franchises by the FDD numbers.
How much does a food & beverage franchise cost?
The median total initial investment across the 486 food & beverage franchises we track is $385,713 (FDD Item 7); individual brands range widely — the table on this page shows each one. The lowest-cost brands are ranked in Cheapest Food & beverage franchises to open.
Which food & beverage franchises disclose earnings?
209 of 486 food & beverage franchises (43%) make an Item 19 financial performance representation in their most recent FDD — franchisor-disclosed unit earnings, not estimates. See Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
What is the failure rate of food & beverage franchises?
Across the 200 food & beverage brands with parsed outlet tables, the median franchised-outlet closure rate is 3.4% (FDD Item 20 — closures, terminations and non-renewals, the closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate). 73 of the 385 with net-change data shrank in the latest reported year.

Featured food & beverage franchise — placement open
One sponsored slot per category, and it's data-gated: a brand must disclose Item 19 earnings and beat the category's median closure rate to hold it. Sponsorship is always labeled and never changes a ranking, a risk read, or a report — the data on this site is not for sale. Franchisor inquiries: ryan@franchisefactsreport.com.
This report compiles and structures publicly filed Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) data from state franchise registrations.
