* The average_gross_revenue was calculated as a weighted average of the average net sales for each quartile using the number of stores in each quartile. (128 units × $1,045,773 + 128 units × $729,514 + 127 units × $576,206 + 128 units × $403,886) / 511 total units = $689,065.18, rounded to $689,065. Median gross revenue, revenue top quartile, and revenue bottom quartile were extracted directly from the 'All Traditional Stores' table. Net income, net profit, EBITDA, and profit range estimates are not provided as the document explicitly states that sales figures do not reflect costs/expenses to obtain profit.
