    Financial Performance — Item 19

    What results are disclosed—and for which locations?

    No financial performance representation in Item 19

    The reviewed 2026 FDD for Jdog Franchises has no Item 19 figures on record. Franopolis does not estimate revenue or earnings in their place; ask the franchisor and current owners what unit-level information they can share.

    Outlet Changes — Item 20

    How has the outlet count changed?

    Coverage not stated in the reviewed record · counts as of year end of each year.

    2026 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 42

    Net −98 outlets, 2023–2025

    019220231232024942025−69−29

    Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero; the labels between the dots show each year's change. Openings and closures for 2025 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.

    For the franchisor

    • Which line items in the 2026 Item 7 estimate ($30,000 – $187,250) vary most by market, and why?

    • Which initial fee option would apply to my situation, and what conditions or discounts affect it?

    • Jdog Franchises reports no financial performance figures in Item 19. What information can you share about unit-level results?

    • Reported units decreased from 123 to 94 in 2025. What drove the change?

    • Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?

    For current and former owners

    • How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?

    • How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?

    • What support from the franchisor has been most and least useful?

    For your advisors

    • Ask a franchise attorney to review the territory, renewal, transfer and termination terms.

    • Ask an accountant to build a cash-flow plan using your own assumptions, not the franchisor's.

    Reader notes on wording

    Our automated check found that these summaries may not match the FDD's exact wording. Read the FDD excerpt itself; it is the authoritative text. Core cost, fee, Item 19 and outlet figures are not affected.

    • Item 11 · PDF p. 29 · 2026 FDD

      Our summary: Typical time to open: Six to eight weeks after signing the Franchise Agreement

      “The minimum length of time between signing of the Franchise Agreement and the operation of the Franchise Business is estimated to be six (6) to eight (8) weeks.”

      Note: Page 30 describes "minimum length of time" as "six 6 to eight 8 weeks", not typical timing.
