Item 19
What milliCare franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Billings
$240,039
milliCare's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the Calendar Year 2024. Basis: Historical data of all MilliCare franchises in the United States that were open the entire 2024 calendar year.
Sample size: 37 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross billings of $457,757. 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
- 6 territories that opened during the 2024 calendar year, or left the system, and otherwise were not open for 12 months.
- 22 territories that didn’t report to us a minimum of 11 months of sales by March 1, 2025.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new milliCare outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
