Item 19
What Prism Specialties franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Sales for Single Primary Service Line, 2024
$591,310
Prism Specialties' 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 2024 and 2023 calendar years; 2024 calendar year for Table 2. Basis: Franchisees operating one or more years by Primary Number of Service Lines; job size by Service Line.
Sample size: 9 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross sales for single primary service line, 2024 of $638,698. 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
- For Franchisees that opened a second Primary Service Line mid-year, their Gross Sales for that newly opened Service Line are excluded for that year unless they did over $200,000 in that Service Line, but their Gross Sales for any other Service Lines that had been open for one or more years are included.
- The results include only revenue generated for the Service Lines indicated and do not include revenue from any other line of business.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Prism Specialties outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
