What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Card My Yard's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the median number of orders for locations opened in 2020 was 120. This data is based on the performance of 177 franchise locations opened in 2020 that were four years old at the time of the report.
This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the potential order volume they might expect in their initial years of operation. However, it's important to note that the FDD also indicates that Card My Yard experienced a significant positive impact on sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly for locations opened in 2019 and 2020. The document cautions that this level of sales may not be typical or representative of the average location due to the pandemic's influence.
Therefore, while the median of 120 orders offers a benchmark, prospective franchisees should consider the unique circumstances of 2020 and how current market conditions might differ. They should also be aware that this figure represents gross sales and does not account for operating expenses, which must be deducted to determine net income or profit. It is important to conduct an independent investigation of costs and expenses that will be incurred while operating a Card My Yard business.
Prospective franchisees should also note that 40% of the 177 locations opened in 2020 attained or exceeded the average number of orders. This means that 60% of the locations had less than the average number of orders. This highlights the variability in performance among different franchise locations and the importance of factors such as local market conditions and the franchisee's operational capabilities.
