Food Franchise Opportunities

Anyone can list the franchise fee. Numbers without context are practically meaningless — so alongside every food brand here, we show you what each figure is attached to: the investment range, U.S. unit count, filing years, and whether the brand discloses an Item 19 financial performance representation. Food is the widest segment in franchising — quick-service, fast-casual, pizza, dessert, and full-service concepts — so the ranges below run wide. Where a brand has filed in both 2025 and 2026, you can see exactly what changed, and an unlocked Workspace lets you read a figure next to the page of the FDD it comes from.
