Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Yasubee Ramen franchise?
The total investment to open a Yasubee Ramen franchise ranges from $273K – $698K, with an initial franchise fee of $25K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Yasubee Ramen franchise owners earn?
Yasubee Ramen does not disclose average franchise owner earnings in their FDD Item 19. Not all franchisors are required to make financial performance representations. We recommend asking existing franchisees directly about their financial experience.
What is Item 19 in the Yasubee Ramen FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets.

What is Yasubee Ramen's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Yasubee Ramen (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 Yasubee Ramen franchise locations are there?
As of their most recent FDD filing, Yasubee Ramen has 1 total units in the United States, including 0 franchised units and 1 company-owned units.
