| ITEM 5 | Initial franchise fee | $45,000 |
| ITEM 7 | Total initial investment | $123K–$331K |
| ITEM 19 | Earnings disclosure (FPR) | Yes — financial performance representation made |

The headline figure is Average gross sales (Small Market) for calendar 2023 (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2023), for 69 of 209 units, leaving out combined (multi-territory) markets (shown separately), medium/large/metro markets (shown separately), not open full 2023. The mean is 17% above the median, so a minority of high-volume units pulls the average up. It shows no costs, so it says nothing about what an owner keeps.
Graded on three things the filing states: coverage (2 points if the figure covers at least 75% of the units it is compared with, 1 point for 50–75%), centre (2 points if it prints both a median and a mean, 1 for one of them), and costs (2 points for costs through a profit line or full cost detail, 1 for some cost items). 5–6 points = More complete, 3–4 = Partial, 0–2 = Limited. The grade describes the disclosure, not the business.
