    • Which line items in the 2025 Item 7 estimate ($36,500 – $69,900) vary most by market, and why?

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

    • Reported units went from 245 to 264 in 2024. How many new units opened, closed or changed hands?

    • Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?

    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
