Average jobs per territory were 495, 283, 188 and 89 from the top quartile down, and average revenue per job was $3,877, $3,592, $3,765 and $4,102. The bottom quartile’s revenue per job is 14.2%* above the second quartile’s.
- The top franchisee quartile holds more territories. Ranked by sales per franchisee, the top quartile averaged $5,198,528 on 4.92 territories and the bottom quartile $651,598 on 1.5 territories. That is 7.98 times* per franchisee and 2.43 times* per territory.
- The royalty rate falls as a territory’s sales pass $500,000 and $1 million in a calendar year. In a year that starts at 7%, a territory at the top-quartile average of $1,680,896 pays $99,045* of royalty, or 5.89%* of sales. A territory at the bottom-quartile average of $318,390 pays 7.00%*. Each territory is calculated on its own.
- The minimum royalty reaches $21,600 a year per territory. From the ninth full operating quarter it is $5,400 a quarter, or $21,600* a year. At 7%, that equals the royalty on $308,571* of sales, $9,819* below the bottom-quartile average of $318,390.
- Franchised outlets fell from 178 to 164 in 2025.

The other exits were 2 terminations, 7 non-renewals and 4 other closures, against 10 openings.
Sales per territory
How much does a 101 Mobility franchise make?
| Quartile | Territories per franchisee | Sales per territory | Jobs per territory | Revenue per job |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 2.08 | $1,680,896 | 495 | $3,877 |
| Second | 3.54 | $946,370 | 283 | $3,592 |
| Third | 2.77 | $626,764 | 188 | $3,765 |
| Fourth | 3.29 | $318,390 | 89 | $4,102 |
| First against fourth* | 0.63 times | 5.28 times | 5.56 times | 0.95 times |
Quartile averages as the brand reported them. Sales are revenues franchisees reported in the franchisor’s MOBILINK software, unaudited. Revenue per job is worked out for each franchisee and then averaged, so sales divided by jobs does not equal the revenue per job column. The bottom row is an Averan calculation.
Item 19 covers the 53 franchisees whose businesses operated for all of 2025, running 155 territories. The franchisor divides each franchisee’s sales by its number of territories, ranks the results and splits them into quartiles of 13, 13, 13 and 14 franchisees. Sales are the amount royalties were paid on.
The top quartile averaged $1,680,896 of sales per territory in 2025 and the bottom quartile $318,390. The highest territory figure was $3,268,806 and the lowest $80,255. The FDD does not print a system-wide average or median.
On Averan’s calculation the 53 franchisees had $127,368,513* of combined 2025 sales, or $821,732* per territory. This multiplies each per-franchisee quartile average by the number of franchisees in it and divides the sum by the 155 territories.
A job is one sales order in MOBILINK, and one order may include more than one product. Average jobs per territory ran from 495 in the top quartile to 89 in the bottom. Average revenue per job was $3,592 to $4,102 in each quartile, and the bottom quartile had the highest figure.
The figures include sales outside the franchisee’s own territory. Franchisees may sell in nearby areas not yet granted to another franchisee. Once such an area is granted, they must stop soliciting there.
Territory counts are as of the end of 2025. A territory redesign during 2025 ended some franchise agreements and enlarged others, and Item 19 uses the year-end count.

The two Item 19 tables group the franchisees differently. In the per-territory ranking the top quartile held 2.08 territories on average and the bottom quartile 3.29. In the per-franchisee ranking the top quartile held 4.92 and the bottom 1.5.
Sales per franchisee ran from $80,255 to $9,645,731. Territory counts ran from 2 to 9 in the top franchisee quartile and from 1 to 3 in the bottom franchisee quartile.
Brand charges
Brand charges
| Charge | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Royalty | 7% of gross sales up to $500,000, 6% from $500,000 to $1 million, 5% above $1 million | Paid weekly. Worked out for each territory separately, by calendar year |
| Minimum royalty | $2,100 a quarter in full operating quarters 3 and 4, $3,600 in quarters 5 to 8, $5,400 after that | Per territory. Paid as the shortfall against royalty on inside-territory sales |
| Marketing fee | Currently 2% of gross sales | May rise to 4%. Not paid into an advertising fund |
| Local marketing | Up to 2% of gross sales | Spent by the franchisee each month if required. Cooperative contributions count toward it |
| Technology fee | $125 a month per territory | May rise to $500 a month per territory |
| Call answering and scheduling | $300 to $400 a month, plus a set-up fee of $300 to $400 | Paid to a designated third party; some programs charge from $1.45 a minute |
Charges as the brand describes them.
The royalty falls as a territory’s sales pass each band during a calendar year. In a year that starts at 7%, royalty is $99,045* or 5.89%* at the top-quartile average of $1,680,896, 6.53%* at the second-quartile $946,370, 6.80%* at the third-quartile $626,764 and 7.00%* at the bottom-quartile $318,390.
On top of the royalty, 101 Mobility charges a marketing fee of currently 2% of gross sales and a technology fee of $125 a month per territory. It may also require local marketing spend of up to 2% of gross sales, spent by the franchisee.
From the second calendar year, the royalty rate starts at the band the territory reached the year before. The FDD’s example: a territory with $600,000 of inside-territory sales in one year starts the next year at 6%, and moves to 5% once it passes $1 million. Sales outside the territory pay the same rate; an owner with several territories at different rates pays the lowest rate in effect on them.
The minimum royalty is $5,400 a quarter per territory from the ninth full operating quarter, or $21,600* a year. At 7%, that matches the royalty on $308,571* of sales.
The franchisor may end a territory’s protection if its inside-territory sales do not exceed $400,000 a year in years three to five, or $600,000 a year from year six. The FDD states these are the two circumstances in which territorial rights can be changed.
The FDD states that, as of its issuance date, the royalty and marketing fee are not uniformly imposed. Other charges include training at $300 per person per day after initial training, a renewal fee of $7,500 and transfer fees of $1,000 to $10,000.

A single 101 Mobility territory costs $196,000 to $281,100 to open, including the $74,000 initial franchise fee. The largest line after the fee is additional funds of $50,000 to $75,000 for the first six months, which the FDD says covers wages, payroll taxes, fuel, insurance and other operating costs.
Extra territories carry lower franchise fees. The second territory’s fee is $59,000 and the third and later territories’ fee is $44,000. Buying three territories at once is estimated at $299,000 to $384,100, with $177,000 of franchise fees. Veterans get $10,000 off the first territory’s fee.
The business runs from a combined office and warehouse of 2,000 to 2,500 square feet in a mixed-use industrial area. Between 900 and 1,000 square feet must be warehouse space with ceilings of at least 10 feet.
The FDD says a franchise usually opens within 60 days of signing. The franchisor may terminate if the business has not opened within 120 days.

Leaving out those 11, 13 franchised outlets left the system in 2025: 2 terminations, 7 non-renewals and 4 other closures. That is 7.3%* of the 178 at the start of the year. Ten opened. In 2023 and 2024 no franchised outlet closed.
The state rows of the 2025 table do not add up to its totals row. The state rows show 5 openings, 14 other closures and 162 at year end, while the totals row shows 10, 15 and 164. The totals match the systemwide summary table.
Company-owned outlets, run by the franchisor’s affiliate, went from 16 to 14 in 2025. The two Oklahoma outlets were sold to a franchisee.
