Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Randy's Donuts'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 Randy's Donuts's outlets rather than all of them. The site on file for Randy's Donuts 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.

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 30% 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

CLEAR
No bankruptcy disclosures for the franchisor or its officers.
NOT DISCLOSED

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 Randy's Donuts franchise cost?

Randy's Donuts' most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $253K–$721K. 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 $40,000, and is included in that range.

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

Item 5 fee cited as a range of $40,000-$55,000; low end recorded. Item 7 total investment range of $252,500-$720,500 seems low for a donut QSR brand that markets itself as a 5-unit hub-and-spoke model requiring substantial capital (per the franchisor's own investment overview) - possible AI-parsing error on the source page or a kiosk/non-traditional format; flagged for manual verification. Royalty/brand-fund/tech-fee, litigation, bankruptcy, territory, non-compete, and Item 19/20 figures were not present on the accessible page and were left null rather than guessed.
