Item 19
What ALOHA POKE CO. franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Sales
$301,614
ALOHA POKE CO.'s 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 2024 Fiscal Year. Basis: Franchised Aloha Poke Co. Restaurants in operation during the entire 2024 Fiscal Year.
Sample size: 3 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross sales of $323,756. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- 2 franchised Restaurants opened for business during 2024 and therefore did not operate during the entire 2024 Fiscal Year.
- 1 affiliate-owned Restaurant opened for business during 2024 and therefore did not operate during the entire 2024 Fiscal Year.
- 2 locations operating under license agreements with unaffiliated parties do not operate with the level of service and support that our affiliates’ management provides to affiliate-owned locations and that we expect to provide to franchisees. As a result, we do not consider those 2 licensed Restaurants to reflect the standard Aloha Poke Co. Restaurant prototype offered in this disclosure document.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new ALOHA POKE CO. outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20

ALOHA POKE CO. ended 2024 with 5 franchised outlets and 12 company-owned outlets. In that year 2 franchised outlets opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, ALOHA POKE CO. opened 4 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 4, from 1 to 5 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
