Figures above are as disclosed in 'Mood' and 'Mood Media''s most recent FDD (registered 2023).

'Mood' and 'Mood Media' franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: 'Mood' and 'Mood Media' 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 'Mood' and 'Mood Media' — 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 'Mood' and 'Mood Media''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.
'Mood' and 'Mood Media' lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for 'Mood' and 'Mood Media'. 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.
'Mood' and 'Mood Media' closures & failure rate
Before you sign, 'Mood' and 'Mood Media' 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 'Mood' and 'Mood Media''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. 'Mood' and 'Mood Media' reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn. The actual closure and termination counts, and how 'Mood' and 'Mood Media''s churn ranks against other peers, are in the full report.
