Brand Analysis
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. reported 656 company-operated stores in 43 states as of January 30, 2026, and the brand has never sold a franchise. Huddle House and Another Broken Egg cover the same daypart with filed FDDs, at $555,375 to $1,715,275 and $792,500 to $1,804,000.
Brand Analysis
Jazzercise's 2026 FDD discloses a $2,170 total investment — roughly 1/200th the cost of Club Pilates or Orangetheory. The price gap is not a discount. It's a description of two different business models that share the word 'fitness'.
Brand Analysis
Recent FDD reporting puts a Restore Hyper Wellness franchise at $777K-$1.32M all-in with a 7.5% royalty. The catch: unit profitability rides on membership dues, not one-off cryo and IV visits.
Wine & Design requires a $25,000 initial franchise fee and a total initial investment range of $69,950–$271,700, per the most recent FDD on file.
Wine & Design is franchised by Wine and Design Franchise LLC, the franchisor entity of record on its Franchise Disclosure Document. Item 1 of the FDD discloses the franchisor's corporate history, parents, and predecessors.
No. Wine & Design does not include a financial performance representation in its FDD. Prospective buyers should rely on validation calls with existing franchisees and benchmark against industry medians.
