The median Gross Sales for the 29 Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Shops in 2021 was $617,268. Please refer to Item 19 of our FDD for all of the relevant details.
2. Average gross profit means the 2021 average Gross Sales of our 29 in-line or stand-alone Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Shops minus the average “Food and Paper Costs” and “Labor Costs” (as those terms are defined in the FDD), but not including occupancy. During 2021, 10 of the 29 in-line or stand-alone Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Shops (34%) had gross profits that equaled or exceeded the average.
