Data Based On: 490 franchised Same Stores in operation for at least 12 full months as of December 31, 2025.

* Average gross revenue of $954,716 was chosen based on its consistency across Table B-2 and C-2 (All Franchised Stores average) and its validation as a weighted average of segmented data in both Table A-2 and B-2. The stated overall average of $833,660 in Table A-2 was identified as a discrepancy/typo. Median gross revenue of $833,660 is consistent across Tables A-2, B-2, and C-2. Revenue top quartile ($1,614,404) and revenue bottom quartile ($520,881) are directly from Table A-2. Average gross profit was calculated using the overall average merchandise margin percentage of 51.0% (from Page 2, Table A) applied to the average gross revenue: $954,716 * 0.51 = $486,805.16. The 51.0% margin was validated by a weighted average calculation from Page 3's customer type percentages (58% retail at 60% margin, 42% commercial at 38% margin, resulting in 50.76% overall).
