What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Christian Brothers Automotive's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, for locations with sales between $3 million and $3.5 million, the median sales amount is $3,234,008. This data is based on 46 stores included in this sales range. This information provides a potential franchisee with insight into the typical sales performance of Christian Brothers Automotive locations within this revenue bracket.
Understanding the median sales figure is crucial for prospective franchisees as it represents the midpoint of sales performance within this group. Half of the locations in this range achieved sales above this figure, and half achieved sales below it. This can be a more reliable indicator of expected performance than the average sales, which can be skewed by extremely high or low performing locations.
It is important to note that while the FDD provides this financial performance representation, Christian Brothers Automotive explicitly states that individual results may vary, and there is no assurance that a new franchisee will achieve similar sales levels. The FDD encourages prospective franchisees to conduct their own independent investigation of costs and expenses and to contact existing or former franchisees for additional information. This due diligence is essential for making an informed investment decision.
