Item 19
What BOR franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Sales
$577,545
BOR's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the years ending December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024. Basis: franchised Businesses.
Sample size: 32 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross sales of $718,089. 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
- The 2023 data below represent 16 of our then total of 49 franchised Businesses as of December 31, 2023. These 16 reporting Businesses were open for at least 12 months as of December 31, 2023.
- Of the 34 Businesses not included in the below data, 28 franchise agreements were signed in 2023 and have not been operating for one year, two were transferred and did not have sales for the full 12 months. In addition, two were closed and two did not provide reports for all 12 months of 2023.
- The 2024 data below represent 32 of our total of 72 franchised Businesses as of December 31, 2024. These reporting Businesses were open for at least 12 months as of December 31, 2024.
- Of the 40 Businesses not included in the below data, 23 franchise agreements were signed in 2024 and have not been operating for one year, five were transferred but only four failed to have sales for the full 12 months. In addition, two were closed, and 10 did not provide reports for all 12 months of 2024.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new BOR outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20
How many BOR outlets there are, and how many closed
BOR ended 2024 with 72 franchised outlets and no company-owned outlets. In that year 25 franchised outlets opened and 2 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, BOR opened 59 franchised outlets and 7 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 53, from 19 to 72 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 3 were terminated and 4 closed for other reasons. Those openings and departures do not add up to that change, because the FDD's own Item 20 row for 2023 does not add up either. We publish the franchisor's figures exactly as printed; see the note under the table below.
On average, about 7.9% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 13.
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.
