Complete Table 3 US state/DC rows total 1,754; Table 4 company US states total 83. The separate Canadian master-franchise affiliate is not included in these US state tables.

Average annual revenue
Sport Clips reports average gross sales of $419,485 for 1,669 mature franchise stores in 2024, each with more than two years in operation at year-end. The selected disclosure was issued April 1,2025. This is a historical 2024 annual mean, not a claim that the 2026 filing has been acquired or reconciled. The mean/table population is 1,669 and above/below counts 788+881 reconcile to it. The same paragraph prints median sales of$409,206 for “these 1,645 stores,” conflicting with the 1,669 table and mean population. The median is kept separate with this unresolved denominator wording; it does not replace or repair the mean. The source reports 1,754 franchised stores at year-end 2024 and restricts the mean to mature stores operational at December 31,2024. It does not give a complete reason-by-reason bridge for the 85-store gap or a separate closure census for the mean cohort; none is invented. Gross Sales in Item 19 are not accompanied by a separate contractual definition. The representation describes similar products and services generally available to stores. The Net Sales basis for fees and company expense tables is not substituted for this gross-sales mean. The separate company-owned expense report starts from 83 stores and excludes 4 non-mature stores,1 temporarily weather-closed store and 5 NewYork stores, leaving 73. Its$533,445 average Net Sales and operating-profit rows are not franchise-store sales or owner income. Its operating profit excludes royalties and weekly training fees and the expense figures are unaudited. The current official earnings page describes more-than-two-year franchises at December 31,2024 but prints a 1,645 total and sales-band counts summing 1,745. Those newer web rows differ from this held disclosure and are not merged with it. The separately indexed 2026 secondary mean/sample claims remain unverified. Gross sales precede operating costs, fees, financing and taxes. They are not profit or owner income; individual results may differ. The acquired historicalPDF is third-party hosted and lacks regulator-byte authentication; this source review is bounded to the cited Item 19 and identity context. Sport Clips haircut and hair-care stores; mature franchise cohort only, company expense reports remain separate
Worldwide locations
>1,900 worldwide lower bound from U.S. and Canadian stores; observed September 14, 2026. The official careers page reports over 1,900 stores across the U.S. and Canada. The page has no stated publication or census date; September 14 is the observation date only. Its 13,000+stylist count is a separate population. The count is a regional store lower bound, not a worldwide exact count or U.S.-only total. No country or company/franchise allocation is inferred. Previous annual-revenue entries and their historical cohorts remain unchanged. 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.
