Item 19
What Grand Welcome franchisees actually report earning
Grand Welcome's 2025 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.
This Item contains a historic financial performance representation of our existing affiliate-owned territories in 2024. The following table shows Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s), Net Revenues and Total Charges information for our 47 franchised territories, which continuously operated during the entire 2024 calendar year.
