Detailed startup costs for PDQ are set out in the brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which itemizes the initial franchise fee and the full estimated initial investment. Request the FDD below for the current figures.

PDQ does not publish a financial performance representation (Item 19) in its current FDD. In that case, the most reliable way to understand earnings potential is to speak directly with current PDQ franchisees during your due-diligence process.
