Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 206 franchised businesses in operation and reporting sales for the full 12 months of 2024 (the Reporting Period)
* The document provides '2024 Average and Median Gross Sales Per Capita' and '2024 Average and Median Gross Sales Per Job' in Tables A and B, respectively. It explicitly states on page 4, 'Other than the preceding financial performance representation, we do not make any financial performance representations.' The data provided (e.g., $4,513 per job, $1.55 per capita) does not represent the total annual gross revenue per franchise unit as typically defined (usually in the range of $100K - $10M per unit). Therefore, 'average_gross_revenue' and related profit metrics cannot be extracted from this FDD.
