Median
$990,526
RNR Rock 'N Roll Sushi's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. Basis: the fifty-nine (59) franchised units that were open for the entirety of 2024 (the “Reporting Franchisee Units”).

What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- The table excludes franchised units that were not open for the entirety of 2024.
- We had two (2) franchisee locations close in 2024 and one (1) temporarily close.
