FDD-reported earnings
The FDD reports $141K as Net Profit $140,650.98 26%. This is a disclosed figure, not our estimate — we publish no modelled profit for B Nutritious.
No Item 19 revenue figure for B Nutritious is on file. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

What the numbers say
Data-driven interpretation of this brand's financial disclosures, fee structure, and system trajectory.
Fee burden
Total ongoing fee load of 8.0% (near the Quick-Service Restaurants median).
Disclosure
Item 19 reports income statement rather than annual gross sales, so unit revenue is not directly comparable.
Operator retention
System shrank 50.0% over 3 years. Ask existing franchisees about local market conditions.
Multi-unit rate
Only 1% of franchisees own multiple units. Could indicate challenging economics or a young system where operators haven't had time to expand.

vs Quick-Service Restaurants medians
How B Nutritious Compares
Category median of published Quick-Service Restaurants brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

- 01MINOROnly 2 units in entire system indicates minimal scale, making it difficult to validate unit economics or identify proven replicable model
- 02MEDNo disclosed growth trajectory for 2-unit system raises questions about franchisee demand, market viability, and franchisor's ability to support expansion
- 03MEDHigh investment-to-unit ratio ($248K-$450K) with only 2 operating locations suggests unproven ROI and limited comparable performance data
- 04MINORFranchise fee of $49,500 represents 20% of minimum investment—relatively high upfront cost for unproven 2-unit brand

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a B Nutritious franchise?
The total investment to open a B Nutritious franchise ranges from $248K – $451K, with an initial franchise fee of $50K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do B Nutritious franchise owners earn?
Item 19 of the B Nutritious FDD discloses outlet figures from $575K to $575K but no single average across all outlets. These are gross sales figures, not profit; the Revenue section shows what the filing reports and on what basis. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns B Nutritious?
B Nutritious is franchised by B Nutritious Franchise, LLC. Source: FDD Item 1, 2025 filing.
What is Item 19 in the B Nutritious FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the B Nutritious FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is B Nutritious's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for B Nutritious (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many B Nutritious franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, B Nutritious has 2 total units in the United States, including 1 franchised units and 1 company-owned units.
Is B Nutritious a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates B Nutritious as a C-grade franchise with a verdict score of 43 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
