Median Gross Revenue
$319,992
Doorstep Details' 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. Basis: All Single-Territory Franchisees.
Sample size: 8 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross revenue of $373,974. 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
- 4 Franchised Units began their operations in 2025 and data was not available for the full Measurement Period; thus, they were excluded from this disclosure.
- 7 Franchised Units did not have data for the full Measurement Period and thus were excluded from this disclosure.
- 2 additional territories (Colorado Springs, CO and Chesapeake, VA) were acquired mid-year 2025 by an existing franchisee. Only one consolidated P&L was submitted per franchisee covering full-year operations; the newly added territories are excluded from this financial performance representation and those franchisees that acquired the territories appear in the Single-Territory tables for the purposes of this disclosure document.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Doorstep Details outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
