- $204,089
Yearly figures for 2025, covering franchised outlets, 2025 (55 locations). The filing gives an average for each quartile rather than one overall figure; this is the overall average worked out from those and each one's number of locations. The average is about 2.1 times the midpoint of the cost to open.
Sales are what a location takes in before rent, payroll, royalties and other costs, not what its owner keeps.
