Item 19
What The Garage Floor Company franchisees actually report earning
The Garage Floor Company's 2025 FDD publishes no median in its Item 19. What it publishes instead is set out below, in the document's own terms. An average is not a median: it is pulled upward by the strongest outlets, and it does not tell you what the middle outlet made. We do not calculate a median the document does not state.
The information in this analysis has not been audited, is based on historical financial data, and is not a forecast or projection of future financial performance.

What the franchisor excluded from these figures
- The FDD excludes the Chandler Outlet because it is not representative of the franchise offering and operates independently of the franchise system.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new The Garage Floor Company outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
