Figures above are as disclosed in Rowda Group USA's most recent FDD (registered 2025). Source: California Dept. of Financial Protection and Innovation — Franchise Registration · filing app-33274.

Rowda Group USA franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Rowda Group USA 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 Rowda Group USA — 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 Rowda Group USA'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.
Rowda Group USA lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Rowda Group USA's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2025) does disclose 1 legal proceeding 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 Rowda Group USA 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. The full Rowda Group USA report lists each case with what it was about and how it ended, separates franchisee disputes from corporate and securities matters, and flags the ones a franchisee started — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for.
Rowda Group USA closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Rowda Group USA 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 Rowda Group USA'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. Rowda Group USA's outlet tables are read directly from the FDD in the full report. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Rowda Group USA's churn ranks against food & beverage peers, are in the full report.
