Item 19
What Patrice & Associates franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Sales
$0
Patrice & Associates' 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025 and expiring December 31, 2025. Basis: All 194 Qualifying Gross Revenue Outlets open at the end of the Measuring Period. The median is $0.00 because 97 of the 194 outlets (subsets 4, 5 and 6, exactly half the system) reported $0.00 as both their highest and lowest gross sales. The FDD reports Gross Placement Fees for the 82 Qualifying Placement Outlets separately.
Sample size: 194 outlets. The FDD reports no average alongside this median.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- There were no company-owned P&A Agencies in operation during 2025; therefore the FPR does not include data from Company-Owned Outlets.
- 112 outlets did not qualify as “Qualifying Placement Outlets” because they did not make at least one placement during the Measuring Period.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Patrice & Associates outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
