Item 19 — financial performance representations
This franchisor includes Item 19 financial performance representations in its FDD. Item 19 makes financial performance representations, but no single clearly-labeled average/median gross-sales figure was extracted automatically; consult Item 19 of the source FDD for the full tables.
Outlet trend (Item 20, Table No. 1 — from the 2026 FDD)
Total outlets at fiscal year-end — Item 20, Table No. 1, as reported in the 2026 FDD (a single filing's own three-year table, shown as filed).
| Fiscal year | Total outlets |
|---|---|
| 2023 | 41 |
| 2024 | 82 |
| 2025 | 101 |
Change across the three reported years: +60 outlets (growing). These counts come from a single filing's own three-year table — they are outlet counts, not a multi-year filing diff.
Restatement note: the 2024 and 2025 filings report 39 total outlets for fiscal 2023; this filing reports 41 for the same year (39 franchised plus 2 company-owned territories). The table above is as filed in the 2026 FDD — see “What changed” below for how the desk treats the difference.
What changed — 2026 FDD vs 2025 FDD
Headline figures from this page's filing (2026) set against the prior filing we hold (2025). The audit below diffs every fee line, every Item 7 row and the Item 3 and Item 20 detail across the full verified set (2023 + 2024 + 2025 + 2026 FDDs).
| Metric | 2025 FDD | 2026 FDD | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated initial investment — low end (Item 7) | $180,423 | $181,558 | +$1,135 |
| Estimated initial investment — high end (Item 7) | $294,651 | $294,936 | +$285 |
| Total outlets (Item 20, latest fiscal year reported) | 82 (FY2024) | 101 (FY2025) | +19 outlets |
Initial franchise fee — comparison not published. The initial franchise fee in the 2025 filing could not be isolated by the desk's parser, so it is shown as unavailable and no fee change is published here; nothing is interpolated from the surrounding years. The audit below is built from the full filings.
Restated outlet count — comparison not published. The 2026 filing reports 41 total outlets for fiscal 2023 (39 franchised plus 2 company-owned territories); the 2024 and 2025 filings report 39 for the same year. Both figures are shown as filed where they appear, and the desk does not publish a cross-edition 2023 comparison or present the difference as growth.
