Item 19
What Habit Burger Grill franchisees actually report earning
$ Gross Sales Median
$1,915,000
Habit Burger Grill's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the Fiscal Year 2025, January 1, 2025 to December 30, 2025. Basis: Franchisee Covered Restaurants.
Sample size: 62 outlets. The FDD also reports $ gross sales average of $1,869,000. 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 12 THR-operated Habit Burger Restaurants and 3 franchise-operated Habit Burger Restaurants that closed during Fiscal Year 2025, including 1 non-renewal, and the 17 THR-operated Habit Burger Restaurants and 4 franchise-operated Habit Burger Restaurants that opened during Fiscal Year 2025 are excluded from the financial performance representation.
- Two THR-operated Habit Burger Restaurants and 9 franchise-operated Habit Burger Restaurants in non-traditional locations are excluded from the financial performance representation.
- Table C excludes the 62 Franchisee Covered Restaurants because the franchisor does not receive expense data from those franchisee-owned Covered Restaurants, and excludes the 6 December Sold Restaurants because the franchisor did not receive expense data from those locations for the time those restaurants were operated by a franchisee.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Habit Burger Grill outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
