McAlister's Deli Franchise

McAlister's Deli, a Focus Brands franchise, has been franchising since 1994 - 5 years after the concept was founded in 1989 , currently with 550 total locations (550 franchised, 0 company-owned; 100% of the recorded total is franchised) in the food & beverage sector, headquartered in GA. The registry records a total initial investment between $750K and $1.9M, with separate listed low and high values. A franchise-fee field of $35K is recorded separately, while the registry summary does not reproduce the full Item 7 schedule.

Royalty payments here are set at 5.0% of gross sales with a separate 2.0% national advertising-fund field; the two listed percentages total 7.0%. McAlister's Deli has an Item 19 financial-performance field in this registry, a voluntary disclosure under the FTC Franchise Rule. The reported average gross revenue per location is $2.0M; applying the listed royalty rate to that reported average yields $100K as a simple arithmetic illustration, not a cost or profit estimate. This reported revenue field is not a profitability measure; operating costs are outside this registry.

McAlister's Deli's network is expanding: unit count grew at a 1.8% net rate over the past year (30 openings, 20 closures). The registry records both the reported percentage and the count of openings and closures when those fields are available.
