HUDDLE HOUSE FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) — 2024
The FDD is the 23-item legal disclosure every U.S. franchisor must hand you at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything (FTC Franchise Rule, 16 CFR 436). HUDDLE HOUSE's most recent FDD tracked here is the 2024 FDD · 1+ year old, filed with the Minnesota Department of Commerce (public CARDS portal). Registration-state filings are public records, so you can read it free, with no sign-up.
PUBLIC RECORD · FILED 2024 · SOURCE STATE MN
| ITEM 5 | Initial franchise fee | $35,000 |
| ITEM 6 | Ongoing royalty | 4.8% of gross sales |
| ITEM 7 | Total initial investment | $552K–$1.4M |
| ITEM 19 | Earnings disclosure (FPR) | Yes — financial performance representation made |
| ITEM 20 | Outlets (fiscal 2023) | 216 franchised at year end · 21 exits (exit rate 9.1%, fiscal 2023) |
The headline figure is Average Net Sales per Unit for Calendar year 2023, for 209 of 216 outlets open at year end, leaving out closed during the year, open < 50% of the year, closed before Apr 30, 2024. It shows no costs, so it says nothing about what an owner keeps.
Graded on three things the filing states: coverage (2 points if the figure covers at least 75% of the units it is compared with, 1 point for 50–75%), centre (2 points if it prints both a median and a mean, 1 for one of them), and costs (2 points for costs through a profit line or full cost detail, 1 for some cost items). 5–6 points = More complete, 3–4 = Partial, 0–2 = Limited. The grade describes the disclosure, not the business.
