JIFFY LUBE FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) — 2026
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). JIFFY LUBE's most recent FDD tracked here is the 2026 FDD, 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 2026 · SOURCE STATE MN
| ITEM 5 | Initial franchise fee | $35,000 |
| ITEM 6 | Ongoing royalty | 4.0% of gross sales |
| ITEM 7 | Total initial investment | $211K–$510K |
| ITEM 3 | Disclosed litigation matters | 20 |
| ITEM 19 | Earnings disclosure (FPR) | Yes — median unit volume $1.0M (population and period as defined in the filing's Item 19) |
| ITEM 20 | Outlets (fiscal 2025) | 1,765 franchised at year end · 21 exits (exit rate 1.2%, fiscal 2025) |
| ITEM 21 | Franchisor financial statements | Unmodified (clean) opinion — Grant Thornton LLP |
The headline figure is Net Adjusted Sales for Calendar year 2025, for 1,732 of 1,765 outlets open at year end, leaving out company-owned, not open 12 full months. The mean is 11% above the median, so a minority of high-volume units pulls the average up. 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.

No statement figures extracted from the 2026 FDD.
How to read this: royalties recur as long as franchisees trade; initial and development fees arrive only when new franchises are sold. A franchisor whose revenue leans on initial fees is funding itself by selling territories, and that revenue stops when sales slow. Under ASC 606 most franchisors recognize initial fees over the agreement term, so the line understates the cash collected in a strong selling year. Ad-fund revenue, where reported, is included in total revenue as the statements present it.
Each figure links to its page in the filed PDF. “Matched to statement” means our extraction and a second, rule-based read of the statement page agree; “extracted · not cross-checked” means the statement page is a scanned image or could not be read as text. Figures we could not place on a consistent scale are withheld, not guessed. Spotted an error? Report a correction.
Every figure above was extracted by software from the 2026 JIFFY LUBE FDD as filed (figures are not individually checked by a person) and links back to that document. Fields that could not be extracted are omitted; no figure here is estimated. Extraction errors are possible: the filing controls, and FDDs are reissued annually; verify against the current issuance before relying on any number. Spotted an error?
