Top Quartile Revenue
$2,412,637

Data Based On: Average sales information for Holiday Lighting Services from 155 Christmas Decor franchisee owners representing 192 franchises in operation for 5+ years, included in Table No. 1.

* Average gross revenue and median gross revenue are extracted from Table No. 1 for franchises with '5+ years in operation'. According to Notes (3) and 'Number of Years in Operation' breakdown for Table No. 1, all 192 franchises included in the Table No. 1 sample are '5+ years in operation'. Revenue top quartile is taken from the 'Top 10% in sales' average in Table No. 1 as the closest available upper-tier segment. Net profit as a percentage of sales (41%) is provided in Table No. 2, but due to a different sample size (225 franchises for Table 2 vs 192 franchises for Table 1's average gross revenue), a dollar amount for average net profit or best-guess profit range could not be accurately calculated for the overall average revenue.
