Item 19
What Mango Mango Dessert franchisees actually report earning
Median
$748,421
Mango Mango Dessert's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the 2025 calendar year. Basis: 25 full service franchised Dessert Mango Mango restaurants that were open and operating for the full twelve months of the 2025 calendar year.
Sample size: 25 outlets. The FDD also reports average of $927,947. 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
- The FDD did not include the 3 franchised Dessert Mango Mango restaurants that started operations after the beginning of the year and therefore operated for less than twelve months in 2025.
- The FDD did not include the one franchise that was in a non-traditional venue.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Mango Mango Dessert outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
