Item 19
What Coverall franchisees actually report earning
Coverall's 2026 FDD publishes no median in its Item 19. What it publishes instead is set out below, in the document's own terms. An average is not a median: it is pulled upward by the strongest outlets, and it does not tell you what the middle outlet made. We do not calculate a median the document does not state.
Some outlets have sold this amount. Your individual results may differ.

A dash means the FDD does not print that figure. Coverall's Item 19 covers the Fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Basis: The existing 329 Franchised Businesses who purchased an Initial Franchise Package from Coverall in fiscal year 2025. Sample size: 329 outlets.
What the franchisor excluded from these figures
- The FDD limits the representation to the existing 329 Franchised Businesses who purchased an Initial Franchise Package from Coverall in fiscal year 2025.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Coverall outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20
How many Coverall outlets there are, and how many closed
Coverall ended 2025 with 5,669 franchised outlets and no company-owned outlets. In that year 429 franchised outlets opened and 365 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Coverall opened 1,422 franchised outlets and 1,697 outlets left the system. That is a net loss of 247, from 5,916 to 5,669 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 1,329 were terminated, 29 were not renewed, 1 was bought back by the franchisor, and 338 closed for other reasons. Those openings and departures do not add up to that change, because the FDD's own Item 20 rows for 2024 and 2025 do not add up either. We publish the franchisor's figures exactly as printed; see the note under the table below.
On average, about 9.9% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 10.
