Item 19
What Lyons Restores franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Sales
$908,354
Lyons Restores' 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 2025 Calendar Year. Basis: Franchised Locations.
Sample size: 10 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross sales of $810,383. 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
- This Item excludes data in connection with three (3) Franchised Locations that opened during the 2024 calendar year and were otherwise not open the entire 2024 calendar year.
- Three of the seven Franchised Locations did not provide contents-related services.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Lyons Restores outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Lyons Restores ended 2025 with 10 franchised outlets and 3 company-owned outlets. No franchised outlets opened or left the system that year.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Lyons Restores opened 3 franchised outlets and 3 outlets left the system. The franchised system ended the period the same size it started. Of the outlets that left, 3 were not renewed.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
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.
