Yoshinoya

Yes. Yoshinoya is a franchise in the food & beverage category, which means you can own and operate a Yoshinoya location under a franchise agreement with the franchisor. The franchisor provides the brand, systems, and ongoing support in exchange for an initial franchise fee and royalties, all disclosed in the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

The Yoshinoya initial franchise fee is $156K – $2.1M, paid to the franchisor at signing. This is separate from total investment and does not include build-out, equipment, or working capital.

Yoshinoya operates 26 active locations as of the most recent FDD filing. Request the latest FDD for state-by-state distribution and openings/closures from Item 20.

Yoshinoya was founded in 2003, giving the brand 23 years of operating history. Brand longevity matters in franchising because it correlates with refined operations, established supplier relationships, and a tested franchisee playbook.

Yoshinoya unit-level profitability depends on location, operating costs, staffing, and management. When a franchisor makes an earnings claim, it appears in Item 19 of the Franchise Disclosure Document, the only place franchise financial performance is officially disclosed. Request the Yoshinoya FDD on this page to review any Item 19 financial performance representation.
