Counts, revenue, medians, ranges, patients a day and the attainment column are as the brand reported it. Revenue a visit is each group's revenue divided by its filed annual visits and is marked *.
The highest-selling franchised tenth collects $33.76 more a visit than the lowest-selling one. $159.59 against $125.83 *, on the lowest-selling group's 5,989 visits that rate alone is worth $202,205 a year.
Half the system reaches its own group average. 145 of 291, and the proportion climbs as the groups move down the sales ranking, 35% in the highest-selling tenth against 59% in the lowest-selling one. So the top of this system is pulled up by a handful of very large centers.
The widest single gap is 23.6-fold. That is $5,796,592 against $245,832 *.
Older and newer centers, 2025

Counts, revenue, medians, patients a day and profit are as the brand reported it. Revenue a visit is marked *, dividing each row's revenue by its filed annual visits.
The newer 42% of the system averages the break-even day. 156 centers at 29.6 patients a day against a crossing point of 29.6 *, so roughly half of them are already above it and half below.
Volume accounts for 89% of the maturity gap and price for the rest. The older franchised centers do 4,194 more visits a year, which at the newer group's own rate is $601,389 of the $674,386 difference *; the remaining $72,997 comes from collecting $4.91 more a visit.
An affiliate center opened since 2021 still earns $211,771. Against $292,571 for the older ones, at 32.6 patients a day against 38.0, 5.4 patients a day is worth $80,800.
Top performers
What separates the top AFC Urgent Care performers
AFC Urgent Care splits its locations into groups instead of publishing one average. The top group averaged $3,655,680 a year. The lowest averaged $753,609. Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees. The middle location sold $1,699,854. The average was $1,867,756. More than half the system is below the number the brand quotes.
Decided before you open
- Site and trade area.The top band sells 4.9× the bottom band. Catchment, daytime population and neighboring businesses affect where a location falls.
- Capacity.Locations run 1,750 to 2,000 square feet. The build sets how much you can sell.
- Opening cost range.Opening costs $948,250 to $1,514,000, a 1.6× range inside one brand.
- Fees and the minimum.Fees run about 8.5% of sales. A minimum fee also applies, so lower-selling locations pay a higher effective rate. Work out the sales level where the percentage overtakes the minimum.
- Cash needed in the first year.This filing shows how a new location builds up: the month sales cover costs, and how much cash you fund before then.
Live operating levers
- Products and materials.At AFC Urgent Care’s 79 affiliate-run centers, products and materials take 50.3% of sales, against 4-Wall EBITDA of 15.7%. The levers are buying terms, price discipline and waste.
- Visits.Track how many visits happen, what each one is worth, and how many customers book the next one before they leave.
Context you underwrite around
- Locations included.These figures cover 291 of 327 locations. Locations open less than the full year, brand-owned, or not meeting the reporting criteria are excluded, as are locations under the brand’s current size standard.
- The franchisor reports its own locations too.The franchisor reports its own locations alongside the franchised ones. Treat them as a guide to what is possible. They do not represent the system: they are operated by the franchisor, usually mature, and usually few.

The day that pays
Affiliate-run centers by tenth, 2025
Seventy-nine centers run by the franchisor's affiliates traded the whole of 2025. They are reported in eight groups of ten with revenue, gross profit and 4-Wall profit on every row. The sixth group averages 32.0 patients a day and earns $70,959. The seventh averages 28.1 and loses $45,895. Between those two rows sits the day an AFC center starts keeping money.
| Group | Centers | Cash revenue | Gross profit | 4-Wall profit | Patients a day | Operating expense * | Total cost a visit * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest-selling eighth | 10 | $2,861,073 | $1,640,758 | $924,059 | 56.8 | $716,699 | $94.00 |
| Second | 10 | $2,326,657 | $1,192,562 | $633,358 | 47.7 | $559,204 | $97.75 |
| Third | 10 | $1,939,304 | $1,033,036 | $407,211 | 39.6 | $625,825 | $106.67 |

| All 79 | 79 | $1,793,641 | $891,285 | $282,343 | 37.3 | $608,942 | $111.54 |
Center counts, revenue, gross profit, profit and patients a day are as the brand reported it.
Break-even lands at 29.6 patients a day. The sixth group earns $70,959 at 32.0 patients and the seventh loses $45,895 at 28.1, so the crossing point sits 61% of the way down *, roughly $1,395,794 of revenue and 10,759 visits a year.
The lowest-selling tenth spends 81.8% of what the highest-selling spends, on 35.1% of the revenue. That is $586,273 against $716,699 *. Six of the eight groups land inside a $60,714 range, from $565,111 to $625,825, across centers billing $1.0m to $1.9m.
Every extra patient a day is worth about $28,586 a year. Fitting total cost across all eight groups against their visits gives $783,730 of fixed cost plus $53.63 a visit, explaining 96.1% of the variation *; against $132.38 of revenue a visit, each visit adds $78.75, and 363 of them make a patient a day.
Costs per visit, 2025
Gross profit is struck after the costs tied directly to seeing a patient. Read per visit, that line rises as the day empties: the highest-selling tenth spends $59.22 a visit on care, the lowest-selling $80.68. A provider on the floor for a full day costs the same whether 22 patients walk in or 57.
| Group | Revenue a visit | Direct care a visit | Everything else a visit | Kept a visit | gross profit | margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest-selling eighth | $138.85 | $59.22 | $34.78 | $44.84 | 57.4% | 32.3% |
| Second | $134.32 | $65.47 | $32.28 | $36.56 | 51.3% | 27.2% |

| Lowest-selling eighth | $122.71 | $80.68 | $71.73 | −$29.70 | 34.3% | −24.2% |
| All 79 | $132.38 | $66.60 | $44.94 | $20.84 | 49.7% | 15.7% |
Every column here is marked *, built by dividing the filed dollar figures by the filed visit counts for the same group. The two margin columns divide the filed gross profit and filed profit by the filed revenue.
Revenue a visit moves $16.14 across the whole range while gross profit moves 23.1 points. $138.85 against $122.71, and 57.4% against 34.3% *, so the highest-selling centers are winning on the cost of a filled day.
Direct care costs $21.46 more a visit at the lowest-selling tenth. That is $80.68 at the lowest-selling tenth against $59.22 at the highest-selling *. On 8,173 visits that is $175,392 a year of extra provider and supply cost *.
Payback on the middle of the investment range takes 4.36 years at the all-center profit. $1,231,125 against $282,343 *; at the highest-selling tenth's $924,059 it takes 1.03 to 1.64 years, and at the fifth group's $200,961 it takes 4.72 to 7.53.

Opening and the brand's cut
Cost to open
A center occupies 1,750 to 2,000 square feet with four to five exam rooms. Construction alone runs $419,750 to $472,500 on a vanilla-box space, and three months of working capital adds $200,000 to $500,000. Of the total, $225,000 to $306,000 goes to the franchisor and its affiliates before the doors open.
