Item 19
What The Resource Room franchisees actually report earning
The Resource Room'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 chart below shows the Gross Revenues of the Representative Centers from January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, and from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.

A dash means the FDD does not print that figure. The Resource Room's Item 19 covers the January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. Basis: The affiliate-owned RESOURCE ROOM centers operating in Staten Island, New York and Holly Springs, North Carolina, collectively “Representative Centers.”.
