The Revenue Top Quartile is taken as the average for the 'Greater than $2.5M' sales volume category, and the Revenue Bottom Quartile is taken as the average for the 'Less than $1M' category. Average Gross Profit and Average EBITDA are based on data from 38 Reporting Franchisees for the 12 months ending December 31, 2023, as presented in Section B 'Benchmarking Study, Part 1' on page 3. The average Gross Revenue for this sample was $2,279,069.
