Median gross revenue is taken from the 'Middle Third' segment's median ($2,739,946) of the franchised average sales table on page 2, as no overall median for the 155 units was provided. Top quartile revenue is the average of the 'Top 15%' segment. Bottom quartile revenue is the average of the 'Bottom 15%' segment.
