Median Net Revenues
$760,611
Mainstream Boutique's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 2024 and 2023. Basis: Reporting Franchisees.
Sample size: 15 outlets. The FDD also reports 2024 and 2023 average net revenues of $853,178. 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
- 2 franchised Mainstream Boutique® Businesses that opened during the 2024 calendar year ended December 31, 2024 and therefore do not have a full 12 months of operating history.
- 1 Mainstream Boutique® Business operating seasonally and not reporting revenue for the full 52 weeks of 2024.
- 2 Mainstream Boutique® Businesses that temporarily closed and were not in operation for all of 2024.
- Any Mainstream Boutique® Businesses operated by Mainstream or its affiliates.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Mainstream Boutique outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
