Cowboy Jack’s
Formerly known as AMG Franchises
Bottom line
- Total investment $1.5M – $6.1M including a $45K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 65/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Risk & Legal
Cowboy Jack's presents substantial caution-level risk due to undisclosed financial performance data, minimal system size, questionable franchisor financial health, and unclear unit economics despite significant capital requirements.
Score breakdown · what drove the 65 / 100 rating
- 01MEDNo Item 19 (Average Revenue/Net Income) disclosed — impossible to assess unit economics or ROI potential
- 02MEDOnly 10 units system-wide indicates minimal scale, limited support infrastructure, and unproven model
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — suggests potential financial instability or operational concerns at franchisor level
- 04MINORWide investment range ($1.45M–$6.13M) with no revenue disclosure makes unit profitability assessment impossible
- 05MINORMinimum royalty of $2,300/month ($27,600/year) creates high fixed cost burden even for underperforming locations
- 06MINORUnknown unit growth trajectory — no clarity on system expansion, franchisee retention, or franchisee success rates
- 07MINORMinimal franchise fee ($45K) relative to total investment suggests franchisor may rely heavily on royalties for revenue
