For the Buona financial performance representation, what time period does the data cover for most of the restaurants?

According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial performance data presented for most of the restaurants covers the 12-month period from January 1, 2024, through December 29, 2024. This data is derived from 19 affiliate-owned Buona restaurants located in the Chicago metropolitan area. These restaurants are similar to the Buona Business offered in the disclosure document.

Specifically, the data includes information from 10 single-brand free-standing restaurants with drive-thrus, 1 single-brand inline restaurant, and 7 dual-brand free-standing restaurants. However, there is an exception for Store #18, where the data covers the period from its opening date on February 26, 2024, through February 23, 2025. This distinction is important to note, as the performance of Store #18 may not be directly comparable to the other restaurants due to the different time frame.

Prospective franchisees should be aware that the financial performance representation is based on historical results from affiliate-owned restaurants and may not be indicative of the performance of a franchised Buona Business. Factors such as management experience, location, competition, and economic conditions can influence the actual results. Buona also states that the data does not reflect all costs or expenses that must be deducted from the Gross Sales figures to obtain a net income or profit number resulting from the operation of a Buona Business.
