Item 19
What The DripBar franchisees actually report earning
Median Store Sales
$347,841
The DripBar's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. Basis: Historical performance of franchised outlets (Reporting Outlets) that operated during a minimum of the entire Measuring Period.
Sample size: 69 outlets. The FDD also reports average store sales of $392,768. 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
- The 28 locations excluded either did not operate a minimum of 6 months during the Measuring Period, changed ownership during the Measuring Period, had a Force Majeure incident that necessitated its closure, or were not in good standing or in informal dispute resolution with the franchisor.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new The DripBar outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
