McAlister’s Deli franchise

Average annual revenue

McAlister’s reports $1,868,101 in average net sales for 477 traditional franchises operating throughout fiscal 2025. The official brand page and parent development homepage both publish $1,868,101 Average Net Sales for Fiscal Year 2025. This is the printed mean; no sales/units division, quartile weighting, median substitution or annualization is used. The footnote states 477 traditional franchises operated throughout fiscal 2025, out of 505 traditional franchises and 533 total franchises operating as of December 28, 2025. The page does not individually explain the 28 excluded traditional franchises, and their reasons are not invented. Non-traditional and affiliate-owned restaurants are outside the stated franchise sample. The official brand page describes 30+ states and U.S. state registration context. The metric footnote does not separately enumerate its jurisdictions or state exact fiscal start/end dates; December 28 is explicitly the inventory observation date. No independently verified U.S.-only census or exact fiscal calendar is claimed. The complete contractual definition of Net Sales and further Item 19 exclusions are referred to the 2026 FDD. The result is source-bound marketing evidence with those limits, not complete FDD certification. No median, high/low or percentage attaining the mean is promoted from secondary pages. Secondary claims of $1,868,219 and $2,798,639 conflict with the current official mean and are not used to correct it. Net sales are sales volume before business expenses; the source does not supply profit or owner income. Some outlets earned this amount; the official page cautions that individual results may differ. The homepage location date December 29 differs from the brand page and mean footnoteDecember 28; neither date is reused as a filing issue date or updated unit count.

Worldwide locations

≥550 worldwide lower bound from McAlister’s Deli’s dated location count as of December 28, 2025. The selected December 28, 2025 operating population supports an inferred worldwide lower bound only; no exact worldwide or U.S. full-system total is established. Geography is not expressly delimited in the operating-franchise footnote. Company-operated units are not included or enumerated there; no outside-region or ownership component is added. Traditional and nontraditional branded outlets may be included. Co-branded premises are not deduplicated across brands and these counts must not be summed into unique physical buildings. Grocery product distribution points, franchise awards, future development and parent totals are excluded. The source is an official webpage readback, not an acquired original HTML response or FDD. The FDD year mentioned on a webpage does not certify current filing effectiveness, original authenticity or complete exhibit review. No current owner identity, income, revenue per unit or typed U.S. count is inferred. All historical entries and typed fields remain unchanged. The selected 550+ Locations headline is explicitly dated December 28, 2025; + is conservatively interpreted as inclusive ≥550. The separate 533 operating-franchise footnote is a different population. Their difference is not labeled company-owned or otherwise allocated. The headline location population is not expressly split by country or ownership. The 30+ states badge supplies context, not an exact U.S. total.
