    No financial performance representation in Item 19

    The reviewed 2026 FDD for Jani-King International, Inc. has no Item 19 figures on record. Franopolis does not estimate revenue or earnings in their place; ask the franchisor and current owners what unit-level information they can share.

    • Reported units decreased from 4,928 to 4,872 in 2024. What drove the change?
