Figures above are as disclosed in Yangguofu's most recent FDD (registered 2024). Source: Minnesota Dept. of Commerce — CARDS franchise registrations · filing 32306-202408-13. The risk level, the Item 19 figures, how it compares to peers, and the litigation & churn detail are in the full report.
Yangguofu franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Yangguofu 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 Yangguofu — 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 Yangguofu'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.
Yangguofu lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for Yangguofu. 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.
Yangguofu closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Yangguofu 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 Yangguofu'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. Yangguofu reports no franchised units open yet — there is no operating track record to churn. The actual closure and termination counts, and how Yangguofu's churn ranks against food & beverage peers, are in the full report.

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

Are there lawsuits against Yangguofu?
We do not publish a litigation answer for Yangguofu: Item 3 could not be read reliably from this filing, and we would rather say so than assert a clean record we have not verified. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check.
