Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Graze Craze'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.

Google returns at most twenty locations for a search, so the rating is a sample of Graze Craze's outlets rather than all of them. The site on file for Graze Craze is its franchise-recruitment site rather than its consumer site, so locator and app checks would say nothing about the brand and are not shown. Measured Sep 11, 2026.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

Total initial investment · Item 7$167K–$326K
$0$500K
ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee$49,500$49,500
Total initial investment$167,059$325,608

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Costs more to open than 17% of food and beverage franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (372 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against food and beverage brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

DISCLOSED
Bankruptcy disclosed for the franchisor or its officers — see Item 4.
4 CASES
FTC v. Signarama (1993) re: false earnings claims/transfer fees; Maryland Consent Order (1996) re: unregistered franchise sales; California TGG Order (Aug 2021) re: registration condition on deferred fee collection; California TGG/GCZ/UFG Order (Mar 2022) re: providing franchise info at a trade show without valid registration. These appear to be legacy/affiliated-brand (United Franchise Group family) matters rather than litigation specific to Graze Craze itself.
NOT EXCLUSIVE
Item 12 does not grant an exclusive territory.
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

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 Graze Craze franchise cost?

Graze Craze's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $167K–$326K. 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 $49,500, and is included in that range.

What royalty does Graze Craze charge?

Graze Craze charges a continuing royalty of 6% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 2% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Does Graze Craze disclose earnings (Item 19)?

No. Graze Craze makes no financial performance representation in its FDD. Item 19 is the only optional item under the FTC Franchise Rule, so omitting it is lawful and common — but it means the franchisor publishes no revenue or profit figures for its outlets, and any figure quoted elsewhere is not from the filing.

How many Graze Craze locations closed?

In its most recent reported year (2025), Graze Craze opened 64, closed 0, terminated 24 franchised outlets, ending the year with 178. Averaged over three years, 15.1% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.

Does Graze Craze give a protected territory?

No. Graze Craze's Item 12 does not grant an exclusive or protected territory, which means the franchisor may place another outlet nearby.

Facts on this page are sourced from a third-party archive's copy of Graze Craze's Franchise Disclosure Document, not filed with us directly — treat figures here as one step further from the original filing.

Marketing/local-marketing fee is a separate required minimum 5% of gross revenues on top of the 2% brand fund (may rise to 4%). Single-unit investment range given; 3-10 unit multi-unit development range is $231,484–$569,792. Graze Craze is a United Franchise Group (UFG) brand, which explains the legacy/affiliated-entity nature of the Item 3/4 disclosures. Item 17 non-compete term/radius and full Item 20 outlet table were not present in the fetched excerpt (document longer than fetch window).
