Anago Franchise
Cost, fees, owner earnings, closure rate and litigation for a Anago franchise — pulled from the franchisor's own public FDD (2026), not its sales material.
Disclosure honesty
Anago discloses little or no owner-earnings data (Item 19) — the franchisor won't put real profit in writing.
What their own earnings claim actually says
No financial performance representations made. Franchisor explicitly states no representations about franchisee future or past outlet financial performance.
What a Anago franchise actually costs to run
| Fee | Disclosed | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Initial franchise fee | $8,750 | Item 5 — paid up front, before you open |
| Royalty | 10% of gross sales | Item 6 — charged on revenue, not profit |
| Advertising fund | 2% of gross sales | Item 6 — brand marketing, spent at the franchisor's discretion |
| Total recurring fees | 12% of gross sales | Before rent, labor, food or debt service |
| Total initial investment | $12,750 – $68,250 | Item 7 — franchisor's own low/high estimate |
10% royalty + 6% admin + 2% advertising + additional fees for account transfers, standards enforcement, insurance, corrective measures.
Royalty and ad-fund percentages are charged on gross sales — an owner pays them whether or not the location is profitable.
Anago system size and owner turnover
| Total outlets | 1,868 |
| Ceased operations | 238 |
| Terminated by franchisor | 6 |
| Transferred to new owners | 10 |
| Closure rate | 12.7% of outlets |
2025: 238 ceased operations, 6 terminations. High churn rate suggests operational challenges.
From Item 20 of the FDD 2026. Terminations and ceased operations are the franchisor's own count of owners who stopped — the number the sales pitch leaves out.
