Meineke FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) — 2025
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). Meineke's most recent FDD tracked here is the 2025 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 2025 · SOURCE STATE MN
| ITEM 5 | Initial franchise fee | $45,000 |
| ITEM 6 | Ongoing royalty | 5.0% of gross sales |
| ITEM 7 | Total initial investment | $225K–$1.2M |
| ITEM 19 | Earnings disclosure (FPR) | Yes — financial performance representation made |
| ITEM 20 | Outlets (fiscal 2024) | 716 franchised at year end · 22 exits (exit rate 3.1%, fiscal 2024) |
The headline figure is Gross Revenues (Average for All Meineke Centers) for 2024 Fiscal Year (Dec 31, 2023 - Dec 28, 2024), for 549 of 716 units, leaving out open less than 2 full years, fewer than 5 repair bays, closed during 2024 and others. The mean is 6% 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.
