What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Christian Brothers Automotive's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the average net sales for a store in its first year of operation was $2,270,141. This figure is based on the performance of 15 stores. The FDD also indicates that 33% of these stores (5 locations) had net sales at or above this average. The lowest net sales for a first-year store was $1,294,166, while the highest was $4,226,929.

For a prospective franchisee, this data point provides an initial benchmark for potential revenue in the first year. However, it's crucial to understand that this is an average across a limited sample of 15 stores and that individual store performance can vary significantly. Factors such as location, local market conditions, management skills, and initial investment can all influence actual sales figures. The document also specifies that these figures pertain to stores opened between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.

It is important to note that the FDD also includes data on Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), Gross Profit (GP), General & Administrative Expenses (G&A), Net Operating Income (NOI) and Total Owner Benefit (TOB) for the same set of stores. Reviewing these figures alongside net sales can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the financial performance of a Christian Brothers Automotive franchise. Prospective franchisees should carefully analyze all components of Item 19 and conduct their own independent research, including speaking with existing franchisees, to assess the potential financial viability of the franchise opportunity.

Furthermore, the FDD explicitly states that Christian Brothers Automotive does not guarantee that franchisees will achieve these results. The document encourages prospective franchisees to consult with their own accounting, business, and legal advisors to assess the likely or potential financial performance of their franchise. This emphasizes the importance of conducting thorough due diligence and not relying solely on the financial performance representations provided in the FDD.
