Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do Dutch Bros. Coffee franchise owners earn?

No average owner earnings figure for Dutch Bros. Coffee is on file. Item 19 — where a franchisor may disclose what its outlets earn — is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and we have not established what this brand's FDD says. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.

What is Item 19 in the Dutch Bros. Coffee 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 Dutch Bros. Coffee FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.

What is Dutch Bros. Coffee's franchise failure rate?

Based on SBA 7(a) loan data, Dutch Bros. Coffee has a charge-off rate of 0.0% across 62 loans, meaning 0.0% of franchise loans were charged off. Charge-off rates are one proxy for franchise risk, though they do not capture all closures. This data comes from FOIA-sourced SBA lending records.
