About Baskin-Robbins
Baskin-Robbins is a franchise opportunity in the restaurant and food service sector. The quick-service and casual dining category remains one of the more active corners of franchising, and Baskin-Robbins competes within it with a defined operating model.
Opening a Baskin-Robbins franchise calls for an estimated total investment of $307,400–$626,700. That figure includes an initial franchise fee of $25,000, along with costs such as equipment, buildout, signage, initial inventory, and working capital.
Baskin-Robbins includes a financial performance representation (Item 19) in its current FDD, meaning the franchisor discloses figures on unit-level sales or earnings. Reviewing Item 19 alongside validation calls with existing franchisees is the best way to gauge realistic performance.
Franchat tracks Baskin-Robbins's disclosure data and makes the latest FDD available so you can compare it against other food service opportunities.
Financial Performance (Item 19)
The FDD discloses 2025 Annual Unit Volumes (AUVs, i.e., Gross Sales) for 814 franchised Baskin-Robbins Restaurants operating the full year, broken into quartiles. System-wide average AUV was $526,669 (median $503,430), ranging from $15,859 to $2,317,892, with 45% of restaurants at or above the average. No expense, cost, or profit data is included, so franchisees cannot determine net income from these figures alone.
