What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the median cost of goods sold for stores in the third quartile is detailed in Item 19. For the group of 23 stores in the third quartile, the median cost of goods sold was $3,842,016. When considering a group of 25 stores in the third quartile, the median cost of goods sold was $3,854,428. However, when analyzing a smaller group of just 2 stores in the third quartile, the median cost of goods sold was $3,346,399.
These figures represent a significant portion of the total revenue for Byrider stores, as indicated by the cost of goods sold percentage, which ranges from 58.92% to 64.57% across the different store groupings. This means that for every dollar of revenue, approximately 59 to 65 cents is spent on the cost of goods sold. Understanding this cost is crucial for franchisees as it directly impacts their gross profit and overall profitability.
The variability in median cost of goods sold across different store groupings (23 stores, 25 stores, and 2 stores) highlights the importance of considering sample size and store performance when evaluating financial performance representations. Prospective franchisees should investigate further to understand the factors that contribute to these differences and how they might impact their own store's performance. Factors such as location, market conditions, and management practices can all influence the cost of goods sold and, consequently, the financial success of a Byrider franchise.
It is important to note that cost of goods sold is a critical factor in determining a franchise's profitability. Franchisees need to carefully manage these costs to ensure a healthy bottom line. Byrider provides data to help potential franchisees understand these costs, but further due diligence and discussions with existing franchisees are recommended to gain a comprehensive understanding.
