What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Fat Shack's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Item 19 provides information on the financial performance of company-owned, affiliate-owned, and franchisee-owned units. However, the provided data focuses on average annual gross sales for franchisee-owned units during the 2024 calendar year, not the highest gross sales achieved by a single unit. The table provided shows the average sales for company-owned units, along with the high, median, and low sales figures for that group. There is no equivalent table showing the high, low, and median sales for franchisee-owned units.
While the document provides average sales data for franchisee-owned Fat Shack locations, it does not disclose the specific highest annual gross sales achieved by an individual franchisee-owned unit. The data includes that, out of 5 company-owned units, the highest gross sale was $858,239. This figure is for company-owned units and not franchisee-owned units.
A prospective franchisee should inquire directly with Fat Shack's management, specifically Thomas J. Armenti, President, to obtain the highest annual gross sales figure for a franchisee-owned unit in 2024. This information is crucial for understanding the potential upper limits of revenue generation within the franchise system. Additionally, it would be beneficial to ask about the factors that contributed to the success of the highest-grossing unit, such as location, marketing strategies, and operational efficiencies.
