Figures above are as disclosed in Kale Me Crazy's most recent FDD (registered 2024). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-27666. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.

Kale Me Crazy franchise profit — what the FDD discloses

Plainly: Kale Me Crazy 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 Kale Me Crazy — 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 Kale Me Crazy'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.

Kale Me Crazy lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

We do not publish a litigation answer for Kale Me Crazy. 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.

Kale Me Crazy closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Kale Me Crazy 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 Kale Me Crazy'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. Kale Me Crazy's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Kale Me Crazy's churn ranks against food & beverage peers, are in the full report.

Who owns Kale Me Crazy?

Kale Me Crazy's franchise is offered by Kale Me Crazy Franchising, Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with.

Kale Me Crazy franchise — frequently asked

How much profit does a Kale Me Crazy franchise make?

Kale Me Crazy makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Kale Me Crazy 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 Kale Me Crazy disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

No — Kale Me Crazy'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 Kale Me Crazy?
