For the Burger King sales distribution data for Non-Traditional Restaurants, what is the reason that 44 franchisee-owned restaurants were not included in the calculation?
Burger_King Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The information provided in this Sales Distribution for Non-Traditional Restaurants is sales information for a total of 775 of these Restaurants.
Of those Restaurants, 741 Restaurants were franchisee-owned and 34 were company-owned as of December 31, 2024.
Only those Restaurants that were open and operating for the entire 12 month period ended December 31, 2024, are reported in this chart.
As a result, the following were not included in the calculation: 44 franchisee-owned Restaurants that temporarily closed during 2024, 26 franchisee-owned Restaurants that permanently closed in 2024, and 29 franchisee-owned Restaurants that opened in 2024 as they were not open and operating for the entire 12 month period ended December 31, 2024.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burger King's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the sales distribution data for Non-Traditional Restaurants includes information from 775 restaurants. Of these, 741 are franchisee-owned and 34 are company-owned. The reported sales data only includes restaurants that were open and operating for the entire 12-month period ending December 31, 2024.
Specifically, 44 franchisee-owned restaurants were not included in the calculation because they temporarily closed during 2024. Additionally, 26 franchisee-owned restaurants were excluded due to permanent closure in 2024, and 29 franchisee-owned restaurants that opened in 2024 were not included because they were not open for the entire 12-month period.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that the sales figures presented are based on a subset of restaurants that maintained consistent operation throughout the year. The exclusion of restaurants due to temporary or permanent closure, or recent opening, suggests that these factors can significantly impact sales data and should be considered when evaluating the potential financial performance of a Burger King Non-Traditional Restaurant.
