Subway / report

The whole Subway filing, read.

DOCTOR'S ASSOCIATES LLC's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, 923 pages, read for someone about to sign, with every figure cited to the page it came from.

Every fee. 59 rows for Subway: initial, royalty, advertising, technology, transfer, renewal, audit, late, termination. The brand page shows the two headline rates; the report shows all of them.
Item 19, decoded. Subway makes no revenue representation; the report quotes the line and explains what that means for you.
Three years of units. Openings, terminations, non-renewals, reacquisitions, transfers, and whether the filing's own totals foot.
Every lawsuit, in plain words. Item 3 and Item 4, one line per matter.
Territory, renewal, transfer, termination. What is protected, what it costs to renew or sell, what they can terminate you for, and the non-compete.
The questions to ask existing franchisees that this filing's own numbers raise.
