Item 19
What EggBred franchisees actually report earning
Median
$1,208,101
EggBred's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 2025. Basis: The unaudited financial statements of the one affiliate location, two franchisee locations open one year or more, and six franchisee locations open less than one year.
Sample size: 2 outlets. The FDD also reports average of $1,208,101. 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
- Chart 1 reports one affiliate location and does not report franchisee locations.
- Chart 2 covers franchises open one year or more and excludes the affiliate location and franchises open less than one year.
- Chart 3 covers franchises open less than one year and excludes the affiliate location and franchises open one year or more.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new EggBred outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20
How many EggBred outlets there are, and how many closed
EggBred ended 2025 with 8 franchised outlets and 1 company-owned outlet. In that year 6 franchised outlets opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, EggBred opened 8 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 8, from 0 to 8 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.
