Sinopsis

Ten of the largest franchise systems in the United States. One question: what do their own disclosure documents actually reveal?

The 10 Largest Franchises of 2026 examines Subway, McDonald’s, Dunkin’, Taco Bell, 7-Eleven, Domino’s Pizza, Coverall, Wendy’s, Burger King and The UPS Store using their 2026 Franchise Disclosure Documents.

The differences are substantial. Initial investment ranges from under $18,000 to more than $4.3 million. Royalty structures that look similar at first glance are calculated on very different bases. Some systems provide detailed historical sales data; others provide projections, limited financial information, or no financial performance representation at all. Unit trends also vary, from sustained growth to multi-year contraction.

Each chapter follows the same structure so the systems can be evaluated consistently:

• initial investment and fees
• ongoing royalties and advertising obligations
• Item 19 financial performance disclosures
• Item 20 unit growth and contraction
• year-over-year changes
• comparisons with relevant franchise benchmarks
• questions worth asking before moving forward

Every figure is tied to the FDD, state version and source pages behind it.

There is no scoring and no recommendation. The goal is simpler: help prospective franchisees understand what the documents say, what they do not say, and where further diligence may be useful.

Includes one complimentary Clearly Workspace ($19 value) for continued franchise research.
