Item 19
What iniBurger franchisees actually report earning
iniBurger'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.
The below historical financial performance representations include Gross Revenue of each outlet.
