Data Based On: Data based on 57 franchised units of at least 1 year tenure for Fiscal Year 2025. This sample excludes 6 franchisees not open for the entire year and those who ceased operations in 2025, as mentioned in the accompanying text.

* Extracted average and median sales and average gross profit directly from the 'All Franchisees (At Least 1 Year)' table. The 'Gross Profit %' stated in the table for 'All Franchisees' is 22.2%. However, the calculated gross profit percentage from the 'Average Sales' ($6,947,291) and 'Average Gross Profit' ($1,424,192) is approximately 20.5% (1,424,192 / 6,947,291 * 100). This discrepancy suggests that the 'Gross Profit %' presented in the table is an average of the individual gross profit percentages of each franchisee, rather than a direct calculation from the aggregated average sales and gross profit figures. No specific expense data or profit margins were provided to estimate a profit range (best_guess_profit_low/high) beyond gross profit. No Net Income, Net Profit, or EBITDA figures were explicitly provided.
