What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- Similar information for the remaining franchised Rocket Fizz Shops was excluded because these Rocket Fizz Shops were not open and operating for more than one year as of the applicable December 31 date.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Rocket Fizz outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
