    • Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?

    • Reported units went from 3 to 3 in 2025. How many new units opened, closed or changed hands?

    For current and former owners

    • How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?

    • How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?

    • How do your results compare with the Item 19 figures, and what explains the difference?

    For your advisors

    • Ask a franchise attorney to review the territory, renewal, transfer and termination terms.
