Port of Subs (RD) franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Port of Subs (RD) does not disclose franchise profit or revenue.

The absence is itself worth weighing (22% of real estate franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn Port of Subs (RD)'s FDD does contain are on this page.

Port of Subs (RD) lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Port of Subs (RD)'s most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Port of Subs (RD) itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.
Port of Subs (RD) closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Port of Subs (RD) 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 Port of Subs (RD)'s most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a real estate 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. Port of Subs (RD)'s outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.
Who owns Port of Subs (RD)?
Port of Subs (RD)'s franchise is offered by POS Franchising, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
