Systemwide sales

$20,126,800,000 in worldwide retail sales for fiscal 2025, ended December 28, 2025. Includes all stores, not only franchise stores. Retained issuer web-reader transcript; original refresh timed out. Unaudited statistical measure; selected capture lacks the full formal retail-sales definition. All-store geographic total, not franchise-only sales; do not equate to franchisor revenue or owner income. Source reports 20,126.8 million USD; the table displays the scale-equivalent whole-dollar amount without adding source precision. Sales are not average unit revenue, franchisor revenue, profit or owner income. Whole-dollar display is a scale conversion of one-decimal USD-million source precision; it does not imply exact dollar precision. Unaudited issuer fiscal-year statistical measure, USD millions to one decimal place. Scale conversion does not add precision. Separate later trailing-four-quarter headline over $20.6 billion is not fiscal2025. Original annual report refresh timed out; evidence is held dated web-reader transcript, not original response bytes. Do not substitute franchisor revenue, supply-chain revenue or owner income.

Opening investment

$107,450–$743,500 across disclosed opening formats. Traditional: $231,450–$743,500; Non-Traditional: $107,450–$709,500. Leased-premises estimates include three months of additional funds; exclusions apply. Published Item 7 estimates for leased premises; this envelope is the minimum low and maximum high across two separate formats, not a single-format estimate or all-in budget. Traditional store: $231,450–$743,500. Non-Traditional store: $107,450–$709,500. No format is substituted for the other. Initial single-store fee is $0–$10,000 and is already included. Three months rent and $10,000–$73,000 additional funds for three months appear in each table. Lease approval is required before execution. Traditional leases generally run five years plus a five-year renewal option; nontraditional leases may be three years or less, subject to negotiated renewal. Site size, condition, location and landlord contributions affect costs. Equipment and technology requirements refer to Item 6 footnote 7 and Items 8/11. Approved-source rules remain applicable. Delivery-car purchase or lease is not required and those costs are excluded from Item 7. Opening advertising and promotion excludes Advertising Fund and cooperative contributions. Training expenses include required-session materials fees. Participants bear their travel expenses. Annual insurance estimates are $25,000–$75,000 traditional and $15,000–$50,000 nontraditional; actual insurance may be significantly higher because of state requirements, location and loss history. Miscellaneous opening costs cover estimated utility and connectivity installation and deposits, paid as incurred to utilities and suppliers. Three-month additional funds exclude ongoing inventory purchases, royalty and advertising payments, financing interest and debt service. Additional expenses are possible; management, local economic and market conditions, wages, competition and achieved sales affect costs. Estimates rely on over 50 years of affiliate/predecessor experience; the franchisor advises careful review with a business advisor. Purchases of existing company-owned stores may cost more or less than these estimates; two sales in 2025 exceeded the upper range. No initial investment is required at Development Agreement signing, but opening each store requires investment. This is not a zero-cost opening option. The FDD was issued April 1, 2026, amended July 29, 2026, and acquired as a Minnesota public filing original. The cover states that no government agency verified its information. This source review is not a transaction-ready legal-offer or suitability certification.
