Median Gross Revenue for 2024 is explicitly stated on page 1 as $1,187,887. Revenue Top Quartile is the Average Retail Sales Per Franchisee Per Quartile for the Top Quartile: $2,949,279. Revenue Bottom Quartile is the Average Retail Sales Per Franchisee Per Quartile for the Bottom Quartile: $471,383.

DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen brings nearly five decades of franchising experience to the home improvement sector, yet its footprint remains surprisingly compact amid booming demand for remodeling. Item 19 financial disclosures offer a glimpse into operator performance that defies the slow expansion pace. Can a system this established deliver outsized returns, or is stability masking stagnation?
Item 7 outlines initial investments from $235,075 to $507,231, including a $48,000 franchise fee, with ongoing costs like 7% royalties (tiered down to 3% on higher sales), 2% brand/ad fund, $515 monthly software, and $350 monthly education fees. Item 19 reveals strong performance: average gross revenue of $1,464,004 and median of $1,187,887 across locations, translating to estimated profits of $541,681 to $771,530 after expenses. SBA data supports viability with 14 loans averaging $242,357 and a low 7.1% default rate, indicating franchisees secure financing without excessive risk.
System health shows modest trajectory: franchising since 1975, units grew from 42 in 2023 to 43 in 2024 (+2%), with 6 projected new units, just 2 terminations, and 3 transfers. This steady but sluggish expansion—barely 43 locations after 50 years—signals a mature, low-churn model in a fragmented market, but limited scale caps national brand leverage. High revenues suggest prime territories yield big, yet slow growth warns of saturation risks; top earners thrive on volume, but averages mask variability for newcomers.
