It's important to note that these figures are based on historical data and may not be indicative of future performance. Gold Star explicitly states that individual results may differ, and there is no assurance that a franchisee will achieve similar sales levels. The FDD also clarifies that the sales data is obtained from franchisee sales reports, which are not audited or otherwise verified, although substantiation of the data will be made available in writing upon reasonable request.
Prospective franchisees should consider these financial performance representations as estimates and understand the factors that could influence their outlet's actual performance. These factors include location, competition, management skills, and local market conditions. Gold Star also provides data for 'G5 Outlets,' which are Franchised Traditional Outlets that have implemented current design standards. Reviewing the performance data for both Traditional and G5 Outlets can offer a more comprehensive understanding of potential financial outcomes. Franchisees should conduct their own due diligence and possibly consult with financial advisors to assess the viability of a Gold Star franchise.
