Item 19
What Fujisan franchisees actually report earning
This brand's FDD publishes no Item 19.
We do not make any representations about a franchisee’s future financial performance or the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor’s management by contacting Michael Kim, Franchise Administration Manager at Fujisan Franchising Corp., 14420 Bloomfield Ave., Santa Fe Springs, California, 90670, (562) 404-2590, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.

Item 20
How many Fujisan outlets there are, and how many closed
Fujisan ended 2025 with 773 franchised outlets and no company-owned outlets. In that year 56 franchised outlets opened and 25 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Fujisan opened 358 franchised outlets and 169 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 189, from 584 to 773 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 90 were terminated, 11 were not renewed, and 68 closed for other reasons.
On average, about 8.4% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 12.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
