Not all franchisors include this information - those that do are being transparent about what you can realistically expect to earn.
Median Revenue
The middle revenue figure across all franchise units. Half earn more, half earn less.
Investment Range
Total estimated initial investment from low to high, including franchise fee and startup costs.
Unit Growth
Net change in franchise units over the past year. Positive growth indicates franchisee satisfaction.
