    Questions to investigate

    Prompts based on what this brand's reviewed disclosures do and don't show — not conclusions. Join free as a member to save questions to your research.

    For the franchisor

    • Which line items in the 2026 Item 7 estimate ($265,500 – $1,680,000) vary most by market, and why?

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

    • Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?

    • 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?

    • How do your results compare with the Item 19 figures, and what explains the difference?

    • 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 7 · PDF p. 1 · 2026 FDD

      Our summary: Cover nontraditional — $265500

      “The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Non - traditional Model PJ’s Unit ranges from $ 265,500 - $ 5 85,500 . This total investment includes (i) $15,000 to $40,000 payable to the Franchisor or its affiliate, (ii) $2,500 to $5,000 payable to the Franchisor or its affiliates for PJ’s Products and proprietary items, and (iii) a $15,000 Initial Marketing Fee payable to the Franchisor or i ts affiliates for the grand opening of the Franchisee’s PJ’s Unit. ”

      Note: The cited page text gives the non-traditional total as “$ 265,500 - $ 5 85,500”; the upper endpoint is malformed in the text extraction, so the complete range cannot be verified without inferring the spacing.

    • Item 7 · PDF p. 19 · 2026 FDD

      Our summary: Nontraditional — Legal, Accounting

      “Legal, Accounting & Organizational Costs $2,500 to $5,000 $2,500 to $5,000 $2,500 to $,5000 As arranged As arranged Government , Attorneys, Accountants”

      Note: The page’s Non-traditional Model range is text-extracted as “$2,500 to $,5000,” with the upper endpoint malformed. The cited page does not resolve the full range without inferring a digit.

    • Item 19 · PDF p. 48 · 2026 FDD

      Our summary: Traditional no drive-thru Top 50% — Sales range low

      “Top 50% 12 $708,635 7 / 58% $752,841 $406,6035 / $1,054,867”

      Note: The cited page prints the low value as “$406,6035”; the Item 19 text does not settle the intended figure, so I cannot normalize it.
