Holiday Stationstores franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Holiday Stationstores 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 Holiday Stationstores — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many food & beverage franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Holiday Stationstores's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Food & beverage franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Holiday Stationstores lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Holiday Stationstores. 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.
Holiday Stationstores closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Holiday Stationstores 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 Holiday Stationstores's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a food & beverage 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. Holiday Stationstores's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Holiday Stationstores's churn ranks against food & beverage peers, are in the full report.
