The UPS Store Non-Traditional franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: The UPS Store Non-Traditional 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 The UPS Store Non-Traditional — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (many retail franchisors do disclose), and the full report reads the risk signals The UPS Store Non-Traditional's FDD does contain — fees, litigation, and outlet churn — against peers. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Retail franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
The UPS Store Non-Traditional lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
The UPS Store Non-Traditional's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) does disclose 6 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 The UPS Store Non-Traditional 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 The UPS Store Non-Traditional 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.
The UPS Store Non-Traditional closures & failure rate
Before you sign, The UPS Store Non-Traditional 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 The UPS Store Non-Traditional's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a retail 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. The UPS Store Non-Traditional's latest tables show a growing franchised network. The actual closure and termination counts, and how The UPS Store Non-Traditional's churn ranks against retail peers, are in the full report.

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:
