Average annual revenue
$2,865,872 average 2025 Net Sales per franchisee-owned repair store, across 302 stores open for the full year. Excludes 24 stores opened in 2025. Net Sales means gross revenue from labor, parts, subcontracted labor/parts and supplies, less labor/parts discounts. This is sales, not net operating income, Total Owner Benefit or take-home pay. Schedule 19.1A includes all 302 franchisee-owned stores open before January 1, 2025 and operating throughout 2025; the 24 stores opened during 2025 are excluded. The separate Schedule 19.1B compares only the same 280 stores open throughout both 2024 and 2025. Its figures are not substituted for this broader 302-store mean. The table reports a $2,702,696 median; 146 stores (48%) met or exceeded the $2,865,872 mean. Mean and median remain different statistics. Compiled from unaudited financial statements and franchisee sales reports; franchisee financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Individual results may differ. The FDD states that financial figures for franchisees with different royalty and approved salary terms were adjusted to its current 50% Split Profits royalty and $60,000 approved/shared-expense salary. No additional adjustment or income calculation is made here. single historical operating repair store
Worldwide locations
≥339 worldwide lower bound from open U.S. locations reported July 15, 2026. The July 15 issuer release distinguishes 339 locations now open from 96 pipeline sites and 14 franchise awards. Only open locations are counted; no awards or future sites are added. The 31-state population supplies an inferred worldwide minimum, not a global census. Ownership is not separately split in the selected current release. The older FDD reports 326 franchised and 326 total at 2025 year-end; this is a separate date, not an additive population. The older FDD company/affiliate rows are labeled 2022,2023,2024 despite the 2023–2025 table heading. The absent 2025 company-owned row stays missing; it is not normalized to zero. Original held-document authenticity and complete-exhibit status remain unverified. All existing entries, financial measures, source history and typed U.S. unit fields remain unchanged. Operating subsets are only worldwide minimums; missing full-system or geographic values are not zero. No current owner identity is asserted.
