Item 19
What Hi-Five franchisees actually report earning
Hi-Five'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 is a historic financial performance representation about a subset of Hi-Five Sports Club outlets and Hi-Five Sports Zone outlets.

A dash means the FDD does not print that figure. Hi-Five's Item 19 covers the January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Basis: A subset of Hi-Five Sports Club outlets and Hi-Five Sports Zone outlets that were operational for the entire reporting period.
What the franchisor excluded from these figures
- The Hi-Five Sports Zone located in Oakdale, Minnesota is excluded from the financial performance representation below because it was not operational for the entire reporting period due to temporary closures relating to a change in ownership.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Hi-Five outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20
How many Hi-Five outlets there are, and how many closed
Hi-Five ended 2024 with 10 franchised outlets and 2 company-owned outlets. In that year no franchised outlets opened and 2 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, Hi-Five opened 1 franchised outlet and 6 outlets left the system. That is a net loss of 5, from 15 to 10 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 3 were terminated and 3 were not renewed.
On average, about 15% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 7.
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.
