Item 19
What PostalAnnex+ franchisees actually report earning
MEDIAN ANNUAL GROSS SALES
$365,000
PostalAnnex+'s 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the Fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. Basis: Franchised standard and flex retail centers in operation 12 months or more as of September 30, 2024, and that attended the 2023 National Convention.
Sample size: 316 outlets. The FDD also reports average annual gross sales of $407,000. 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
- 19 standard and flex franchised centers were excluded because they had not been in operation for 12 months.
- 212 standard and flex franchised centers were excluded because they did not attend the 2023 National Convention.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new PostalAnnex+ outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
