GENERATOR SUPERCENTER

Generator Supercenter franchises operate businesses that sell standby generators to residential and commercial customers, offering installation, maintenance, and monitoring services. Franchisees use the franchisor's unique system for establishing, developing, and operating these businesses. The business model involves sublicensing proprietary marks from the parent company and targeting both residential and commercial markets.

Data Based On: Operating results for 50 franchisee-owned Generator Supercenter locations for the calendar year of 2024.

* All figures for franchisee-owned locations were extracted directly from Table No. 3 on page 3. Average and median gross revenues are provided explicitly. Revenue top/bottom quartiles are set to null as the 'High' and 'Low' values provided represent specific highest/lowest performing units (as confirmed on page 4), not averages of quartiles. Average net income, average net profit, and average EBITDA are not explicitly provided. The document explicitly states: 'Gross Profit' means Gross Revenues less COGS, and 'As indicated, the financial performance representations figures above do not reflect all operating expenses, or other costs or expenses that must be deducted from the gross revenue or gross sales figures to obtain your net income or profit.' Therefore, best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high cannot be reliably estimated for net profit.
