Figures above are as disclosed in Fuji Grill's most recent FDD (registered 2024). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-30440. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Fuji Grill franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Fuji Grill does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Fuji Grill — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many quick-service restaurant franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Fuji Grill's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Fast food & quick-service restaurant franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Fuji Grill lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Fuji Grill. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
Fuji Grill closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Fuji Grill will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Fuji Grill's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a quick-service restaurant of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Fuji Grill's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Fuji Grill's churn ranks against quick-service restaurant peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Fuji Grill?
Fuji Grill's franchise is offered by Fuji Grill Inc — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

Fuji Grill franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Fuji Grill — who is the franchisor?
Fuji Grill's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Fuji Grill Inc as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Fuji Grill franchise cost?
Fuji Grill's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $152,400 – $286,300. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. The full report breaks down every fee line and benchmarks it against quick-service restaurant peers.
How much profit does a Fuji Grill franchise make?
Fuji Grill makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Fuji Grill at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labour and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Fuji Grill disclose financial performance (Item 19)?
No — Fuji Grill's most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation. Its absence is worth weighing; the report focuses on the verifiable risk signals instead.
Are there lawsuits against Fuji Grill?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Fuji Grill: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
