Item 19
What Town Square franchisees actually report earning
Median
$1,365,270
Town Square's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. Basis: Town Square Centers that were in operation for at least twelve months as of December 31, 2025, grouped by years open.
Sample size: 6 outlets. The FDD also reports average revenue of $1,324,218. 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 19-A figures include one corporate-owned center and eight franchised centers; the FDD states that the Glenner Town Square Business is neither a franchised business nor an affiliate-owned business and is presented separately in section 19-B.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Town Square outlet would earn. Your results will differ.

Item 20
How many Town Square outlets there are, and how many closed
Town Square ended 2025 with 10 franchised outlets and 1 company-owned outlet. In that year 2 franchised outlets opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Town Square opened 5 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 5, from 5 to 10 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
