Data Based On: Data based on 23 franchised outlets segmented into three tiers from Item 19 Franchise Owners for the 2024 calendar year, representing a subset of the 31 outlets that responded to the survey.

* Average Gross Revenue ($941,655) is taken from Table 1, which represents the overall average for Item 19 Franchise Owners. This value is consistent with the weighted average calculated from the 23 franchised outlets segmented in Table 2 and Table 3. Revenue Top Quartile is the average from the 'Top Third' ($1,943,486) in Table 2. Revenue Bottom Quartile is the average from the 'Bottom Third' ($313,360) in Table 2. Best guess profit range is estimated by taking the 'Gross Revenue Less Disclosed Expenses' ($365,887 from Table 1) and subtracting an estimated range of 5% to 10% of the Average Gross Revenue ($941,655) for undisclosed royalty and marketing fees, as stated in Note C on page 4. (Low estimate: $365,887 - 10%*$941,655 = $271,722. High estimate: $365,887 - 5%*$941,655 = $318,804).
