What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Christian Brothers Automotive Franchise Disclosure Document, Schedule 19.1B presents a comparative analysis of net sales for the same 265 franchise-owned stores. This schedule compares the net sales performance of these stores for the year ending December 31, 2024, against their performance in the year ending December 31, 2023.
This analysis specifically includes only those 265 Christian Brothers Automotive stores that were open and operating for the entirety of both calendar years 2023 and 2024. The schedule excludes any stores that experienced partial operation during either of these years. This provides a consistent basis for year-over-year comparison, focusing on established locations.
For a prospective Christian Brothers Automotive franchisee, this information is valuable as it offers insight into the potential sales growth of established stores over a one-year period. By examining the net sales of stores that have been operating for at least two full years, potential franchisees can gain a better understanding of sales trends and performance benchmarks. However, it's important to note that this data does not reflect the performance of newer stores or the initial ramp-up period for a new location.
