Data Based On: Data based on 46 single unit franchise owners who operated a single territory for the entirety of 2025 and met the criteria for inclusion in the data presented.

* Extracted data pertains to 'Financial Performance Representation #1-Single Territory Owners/ Average Annual Gross Sales 2025'. The 'average_gross_profit' is recorded as 'Average Gross Profit after Labor and Costs of Goods Sold'. Revenue quartiles (top and bottom) could not be precisely calculated as only the top 5 and bottom 5 individual units were listed, not enough to form a complete quartile for the sample size of 46 units. 'best_guess_profit_low' and 'best_guess_profit_high' are set to null as no further expense information (beyond COGS and labor already subtracted to reach gross profit) was provided to estimate net or operating profit ranges.
