Ziggi's Coffee FDD: sales and earnings
In Item 19, Ziggi's Coffee gives figures. That is the FDD section where a brand may state the sales or earnings of its locations. Across 55 franchised drive-thru shops open through all of 2025, the main figure is $836,537 in average yearly sales. It is money the store takes in, not profit, because rent, wages and every other cost get paid from it.

Before you buy, a brand has to hand over its Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD); the brand's latest one is where every figure comes from. A royalty is the portion of sales, or fixed amount, the brand receives from you after opening. A K stands for thousand, an M for million. Each of the 9 brands includes figures on sales or earnings in its FDD (open any brand to view the numbers). The Minnesota Department of Commerce received every FDD here in 2026.
