Item 19
What Garage Force franchisees actually report earning
Median Annual Gross Revenue
$318,744
Garage Force's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 2025 calendar year. Basis: 69 single unit existing franchised Garage Force Businesses that had been open and continuously operating in the U.S. on a full-time basis for at least one full calendar year as of December 31, 2025.
Sample size: 69 outlets. The FDD also reports average annual gross revenue of $422,998. 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 Item 19 excludes 232 Garage Force Businesses because 95 Garage Force Businesses had not been operating for at least one full year as of December 31, 2025, and 137 operate on a seasonal, part-time, or absentee basis, and/or have purchased multiple territories and are operating larger than our standard single unit territories, and as such, are not substantially similar to the franchised business being offered under this disclosure document.
- Also excluded from this Item 19 are 17 franchised Garage Force Businesses because they were terminated, not renewed, or ceased operations in 2025.
- Excluded from this Item 19 are 4 Garage Force Businesses that were reacquired by the franchisor during the 2025 calendar year.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Garage Force outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20
How many Garage Force outlets there are, and how many closed
Garage Force ended 2025 with 301 franchised outlets and 5 company-owned outlets. In that year 95 franchised outlets opened and 21 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Garage Force opened 183 franchised outlets and 47 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 137, from 164 to 301 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 3 were terminated, 1 was not renewed, 12 were bought back by the franchisor, and 31 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 8.2% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 12.
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.
