It is important to note that G5 Outlets are a subset of Traditional Outlets that have been updated to meet Gold Star's current design standards and menu. All new Gold Star restaurants are required to be G5 Outlets. The financial data presented is based on historical information from subsets of these outlets that were open for the entire fiscal year from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.
A prospective franchisee should consider these figures as estimates of potential performance, keeping in mind that individual results may vary. The FDD also notes that the financial data is based on sales reports from franchisees, which have not been audited or independently verified. Therefore, while the data provides a general overview, it should not be the sole basis for making a decision about investing in a Gold Star franchise.
