JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS FRANCHISE

Data Based On: 136 franchised units that contributed to the 2025 Gross Sales Quadrant analysis, derived from franchisee information.

* Average gross revenue for 2025 was calculated as a weighted average from the four quadrants (Top, Second, Third, Bottom). Each quadrant for 2025 had 34 units, making a total sample of 136 units. The calculation is: (34 * $989,138 + 34 * $381,897 + 34 * $219,611 + 34 * $98,803) / 136 = $422,362.25. This closely matches the overall average gross sales of $422,362 reported in Table 1 for 2025. Median gross revenue is taken directly from Table 1 for 2025. Revenue for top and bottom quartiles are the average gross sales of the respective Top and Bottom Quadrants for 2025. Average gross profit is calculated by multiplying the average gross revenue by the average gross margin percentage for 2025 (41.2% from Table 6). Net income, net profit, and EBITDA figures are not provided in the document, nor is there sufficient expense data beyond COGS (implied by gross margin) to estimate them. Therefore, best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high are set to null.
