Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from Card My Yard's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a Card My Yard franchise cost?
Card My Yard's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $10K–$19K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $8,500, and is included in that range.
What royalty does Card My Yard charge?
Card My Yard charges a continuing royalty of 25% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
Does Card My Yard disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. Card My Yard makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. The filing reports average annual gross revenue of $14,973. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
