How much does a Zinga’s franchise make?

Zinga’s is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly from this filing, so we don't print one; Item 19 of the source FDD has the tables. See every home services brand that discloses earnings in the Home services & home improvement franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings ranking.

Zinga’s franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Zinga’s's 7% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Zinga’s franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Zinga’s franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure.

Zinga’s lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Zinga’s's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.

Zinga’s closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Zinga’s 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 Zinga’s's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a home services 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. Zinga’s's outlet tables did not machine-read cleanly; Item 20 of the source FDD has them.

Who owns Zinga’s?

Zinga’s's franchise is offered by Zinga’s Franchising, Inc. — 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:

Zinga’s franchise — frequently asked

Who owns Zinga’s — who is the franchisor?

Zinga’s's most recently filed FDD (2026) names Zinga’s Franchising, Inc. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. The same franchisor also files FDDs for Zinga's. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.

How much does a Zinga’s franchise cost?

Zinga’s's most recently filed FDD (Item 7) puts the total estimated initial investment at $176,900 – $266,850 and a 7% royalty. That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against home services peers it sits in the lower quartile (median $162,725).

How much profit does a Zinga’s franchise make?

Zinga’s discloses unit earnings in Item 19, but that figure is revenue — sales — not profit. Royalties (7% of gross for Zinga’s), the ad fund, rent, payroll and supplies all come out of it, and no FDD discloses what an owner nets. Any Zinga’s franchise profit number quoted elsewhere is an estimate.

Does Zinga’s disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Yes — Zinga’s reports unit-level earnings in Item 19. The headline figure did not machine-read cleanly, so check Item 19 of the source FDD for the numbers.

Are there lawsuits against Zinga’s?

No — Zinga’s's most recently filed FDD (2026) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.

Is Zinga’s a good franchise to buy?

Nobody can answer that from Zinga’s's numbers alone — it comes down to how its investment, earnings, litigation and franchisee churn stack up against home services peers and against your own budget. Our read on this filing is medium risk. Every figure behind that read is on this page for free. If you're comparing options, the free shortlist on this page matches you with 5–10 franchises that fit your budget and industry.
