Item 19 Data Quality
Before comparing this revenue figure to other brands, review these data-quality flags.
Revenue type unclear
The FDD does not clearly specify whether figures are gross sales, net sales, or a profit metric. This limits comparability.

Sample size not specified
The FDD does not state how many units contributed to this figure.
Current data (2025)
Revenue figures are from 2025 — recent and relevant.
Average and median close
Average ($421,462) and median ($421,462) are within 15% — reasonably even distribution.

Buyer Prep: What to Watch For
Key risk areas, questions for existing franchisees, and community insights
Franchisee Interview Prep
Questions to ask current franchisees — generated from red flags, Item 20 exit data, and contract terms in the 2025 FDD. Prioritized: critical questions first.
The agreement requires mandatory arbitration. Ask: have you ever had a dispute with the franchisor — how was it handled? Did you feel you had recourse?
Look for: Franchisees who've been through disputes. Understand if the arbitration process felt fair or heavily stacked toward the franchisor.
The agreement includes a 2-year, 100-mile post-termination non-compete. Ask franchisees: did you fully understand this when you signed — and do you feel it's fair?
Look for: Whether franchisees feel trapped. High non-compete terms reduce exit flexibility.
How responsive is your franchisor rep — do they actually help when you have a problem, or are they just checking boxes?
Look for: Specific stories (not just vague positives). Ask about a time they needed help urgently — response time matters.
The FDD does not include audited financial statements. Ask: do you have any visibility into the franchisor's financial health? Have you ever been concerned about the company's stability?
Look for: Even anecdotal signals — changes in leadership, delays in royalty statement processing, reduced marketing fund activity.
If you decided to sell your franchise tomorrow, how easy would that be? Has the franchisor ever blocked or delayed a transfer you wanted?
Look for: Transfer fee surprises, right-of-first-refusal complications, or franchisor demanding upgrades before approving a sale.
The Item 2 business experience section doesn't show prior franchise system experience in leadership. Ask: how does the corporate team support franchisees who are struggling operationally?
Look for: Whether they have franchise-specific field support, franchise advisory councils, or prior experience navigating the franchisor-franchisee relationship.
What did your revenue look like in year 1 vs. year 2 vs. now? When did you reach breakeven?
Look for: Year 1 revenue is typically well below Item 19 averages (which often exclude ramp-up units). Expect 12-24 months to reach average.
What did the training actually cover vs. what you needed on day 1? What do you wish you'd learned before opening?
Look for: Gap between training content and operational reality. New franchisees often report the training covered theory but not real-world situations.
