FDD · Item 7

Ranked store groups are not a system average.

The 2024 gross-sales discussion covers 13 reporting franchise businesses divided into ranked groups of four, four, and five stores. The report excludes company and affiliate locations, nonreporters, a partial-year operator, and closed businesses. A group average should not be read as a prediction for a new boutique.

FDD · Item 19

Sales are not take-home income.

Reported revenue comes before the costs of running the business and is not owner profit. Historical results do not predict what a new owner will achieve. Use the current FDD to explore the expenses and operating assumptions relevant to your plans.
