Item 19
What Green Food Solutions franchisees actually report earning
Green Food Solutions' 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.
The information in this analysis has not been audited, is based on historical financial data and is not a forecast or projection of future financial performance.
