Item 19
What Sparkle Squad franchisees actually report earning
Median Revenue Invoiced by Franchisees
$120,737
Sparkle Squad's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Basis: 27 franchisees owning 54 franchised territories who operated for a Full Season during 2025.
Sample size: 27 outlets. The FDD also reports average revenue invoiced by franchisees of $139,303. 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
- Franchisees who trained after the January 2025 training class are not included in this Item 19 because they did not then operate for a Full Season during 2025.
- The table below excludes a total of 25 franchisees (owning 49 franchised territories) that did not operate for a Full Season in 2025.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Sparkle Squad outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
