Item 19
What Mr. Appliance's FDD reports in Item 19
Median Gross Sales Per Job Attained by Group
$284 per job
This is a figure per job, not what one outlet takes in a year. Mr. Appliance's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (the “Reporting Period”). Basis: Franchised businesses open and reporting for any portion of the Reporting Period.
Sample size: 289 franchised businesses. The FDD also reports average gross sales per job attained by group of $291 per job. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest franchised businesses; the median is the middle franchised business.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- The Item 19 does not include data from 14 franchised businesses that opened during the Reporting Period and therefore did not operate and report data for all of the Reporting Period.
- The Item 19 does not include data from 21 franchised businesses that underwent a transfer during the Reporting Period and as a result did not operate and report data for all of the Reporting Period.
- Thirteen franchised businesses that closed during the Reporting Period are also not included because they were not in operation for the entire Reporting Period.
This is a disclosure of what some existing franchised businesses reported, not a projection of what a new Mr. Appliance franchised business would earn. Your results will differ.
