Item 19
What Maid Brigade franchisees actually report earning
Median
$637,111
Maid Brigade's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the Measuring Period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2025. Basis: Qualifying Franchisees.
Sample size: 67 outlets. The FDD also reports average of $946,763. 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 FPR excludes data from Company-Owned Outlets.
- We excluded data for 1 franchisee (with 1 territory) who opened in 2025 and was not open the entire Measuring Period.
- We have also excluded data for 3 franchisees (with 20 territories) who purchased existing Company-Owned Outlets in 2025, which were not operated as Franchised Outlets for the entire Measuring Period.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Maid Brigade outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
