Item 19
What The Vital Stretch franchisees actually report earning
Median Total Gross Revenue
$75,595
The Vital Stretch's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the October 2024 through March. Basis: four of our franchise outlets (the “Franchise Outlets”).
Sample size: 4 outlets. The FDD also reports average total gross revenue of $75,724. 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 FDD's Item 19 states that a Franchise Outlet's operation throughout the entirety of the Measurement Period is the only criteria used for inclusion in this Item 19; it does not state that any other group of outlets was excluded.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new The Vital Stretch outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
