Figures above are as disclosed in Mobiledumps's most recent FDD (registered 2024). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-27260. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Mobiledumps franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Mobiledumps 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 Mobiledumps — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many other franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals Mobiledumps's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Mobiledumps lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Mobiledumps's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Mobiledumps closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Mobiledumps 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 Mobiledumps's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a other 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. Mobiledumps's latest tables show a growing franchised network. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Mobiledumps's churn ranks against other peers, are in the full report.

How much profit does a Mobiledumps franchise make?
Mobiledumps makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Mobiledumps 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 Mobiledumps disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Are there lawsuits against Mobiledumps?
