Item 19
What Window Genie franchisees actually report earning
Median Gross Sales
$387,308
Window Genie's 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the calendar year beginning on January 1, 2024 and ending on December 31, 2024 (the “Reporting Period”). Basis: Franchised businesses included in the applicable reporting tables.
Sample size: 90 outlets. The FDD also reports average gross sales of $485,284. 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
- Eleven franchised businesses closed during the Reporting Period; because they were not in operation at the end of the Reporting Period, their data is excluded from this Item 19.
- Part III excludes 8 businesses that opened in 2024 and therefore were not in operation and reporting sales for the full Reporting Period, and 5 businesses that were transferred to new owners in 2024 and therefore were not in operation and reporting sales for the full Reporting Period.
- Part IV covers franchised businesses in business for 12 months or more that had full 52 weeks of reported Gross Sales in 2024.
- Part V reports the applicable Reporting Businesses for each reporting period.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Window Genie outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
