Data Based On: 7 Territories (4 franchisees) that were in operation for the entire 2025 fiscal year.

This table reports on 7 franchised territories (4 franchisees) that were in operation for the entire 2025 fiscal year. This data was prioritized over the aggregate systemwide franchisee revenue from Table 1, which included 19 territories but did not specify if all were operational for the full year, potentially leading to a less representative average for a fully operational unit. No explicit profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA figures were provided for franchised units.
