Item 19
What Young Rembrandts franchisees actually report earning
Median Annual Gross Revenues (US$) of Franchisees
$128,513
Young Rembrandts' 2025 FDD, Item 19, for the 12 month period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. Basis: 46 Young Rembrandts franchise territories operating for at least 12 months.
Sample size: 46 outlets. The FDD also reports mean (avg) annual gross revenues (US$) of franchisees of $153,708. 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 data on annual gross revenues does not include revenue information from any franchise territories operating for less than 12 months as of December 31, 2024.
- Data for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2024 for 2 of 48 franchise territories was excluded from the average for not having operated for a minimum of 12 months as of December 31, 2024.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Young Rembrandts outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
