Data Based On: Financial performance representations for 2024, based on 103 franchised outlets for gross revenue data (segmented into top 20%, mid 60%, bottom 20% from Tables 2, 3, and 4), and 41 franchised outlets for profit and loss statement percentages (from Table 6).

* Weighted average gross revenue calculated for 2024 using segmented data from Tables 2, 3, and 4: (20 units * $805,182 + 62 units * $449,453 + 21 units * $238,945) / 103 total units = $475,607.49. Average gross profit calculated as average gross revenue * (1 - Average Cost of Goods Sold percentage) = $475,607.49 * (1 - 0.1929) = $383,862.81. Average net income calculated as average gross revenue * Average Net Income percentage = $475,607.49 * 0.2918 = $138,782.27. No profit ranges were given in the source document, so best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high are set to the calculated average net income. All calculations are based on 2024 data.
