- In the top quartile, 20 of 54 stores, or 37%, exceeded their quartile’s average. The top quartile’s range runs from $409,219 to $1,129,713. In the bottom two quartiles 28 of 53 stores, or 53%, exceeded their quartile’s average.
- The test with the highest margin percentage does not have the highest margin in dollars. A complete blood count keeps 93% of a $59.00 price, or $54.75. A Legal Trio Paternity Test keeps 77.5% of $329.00, or $255.00, which is 4.66 times as much*. These are the franchisor’s estimates from 2026 cost projections and estimated retail prices, not franchisee results.
- The required local advertising is a fixed $24,000 a year for a stand-alone store. At the bottom-quartile average of $152,590 that is 15.7% of revenue*; at the top-quartile average of $547,428 it is 4.4%*. Any shortfall is paid to the franchisor and goes into the National Marketing Fund.

Revenue by quartile
How much does an Any Lab Test Now franchise make?
| Quartile | Stores | Average gross revenue | Median gross revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top 25% | 54 | $547,428 | $533,743 |
| 26% to 50% | 53 | $339,562 | $334,660 |

| Bottom 25% | 53 | $152,590 | $154,665 |
| All 213 stores | 213 | $321,341* | $278,174* |
Quartile figures as the brand reported them, from unaudited franchisee reports. Revenue from toxicology employer services, which the stores no longer offer, is removed from every figure. The all-store average weights each quartile average by its number of stores; the all-store median is the 107th of 213 stores, the lowest store in the 26% to 50% quartile.
The 213 franchised stand-alone stores averaged $321,341 of gross revenue in 2025. The FDD does not print an all-store average. Averan weighted the four quartile averages by their store counts, for total revenue of $68,445,675* across the 213 stores.
The median store had $278,174 of gross revenue. With 54 stores in the top quartile and 53 in the next, the 107th store, the middle of 213, is the lowest store in the second quartile, whose range ends at $278,174*.
The group covers stores open for all of 2025. Item 19 leaves out 17 stand-alone stores that opened during 2025, including one that opened and closed during the year, 8 that closed during 2025, and the 17 Micro Market businesses, which are reported separately.
Median and average are close in each quartile. The largest gap is in the top quartile, where the median is $533,743 and the average $547,428.
Margin by test
Estimated gross margin on seven tests
| Test | Retail price | Cost of goods sold | Gross margin | Gross margin percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal Trio Paternity Test | $329.00 | $74.00 | $255.00 | 77.5% |
| Thyroid Panel | $162.00 | $26.57 | $135.43 | 83.5% |
| Comprehensive STD Panel | $232.00 | $128.71 | $103.19 | 44.5% |
| Complete Blood Count Test | $59.00 | $4.25 | $54.75 | 93% |
| Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Test | $59.00 | $5.21 | $53.79 | 91% |
| Cholesterol Test | $59.00 | $8.15 | $50.85 | 86% |
| Pregnancy Test (With Gestation) | $59.00 | $12.01 | $46.99 | 79.5% |
The franchisor’s estimates, based on its 2026 cost projections and estimated retail prices, ordered here by gross margin in dollars. The FDD states there is no guarantee a franchisee will have the same margins.
Margin percentage and margin in dollars rank the tests differently. The four $59.00 tests keep 79.5% to 93% of the price, or $46.99 to $54.75 a test. The paternity test keeps 77.5% and $255.00, which is 4.66 times the margin on a complete blood count*.
The comprehensive STD panel has the lowest margin percentage, 44.5%, and the third-highest margin in dollars, $103.19. Its cost of goods, $128.71, is the highest of the seven tests.
One printed figure does not reconcile. $232.00 less $128.71 is $103.29*; the FDD prints $103.19. The other six rows reconcile to the cent.
These are cost estimates for single tests, not store results. The FDD does not report a store’s test mix, cost of goods as a share of revenue, wages, rent or profit.

| Franchised Micro Market | 17 | $137,230 | $37,405–$420,367 | 7, or 41% |
Figures as the brand reported them. The last column counts stores above the average of their own row, not the all-store average.
Franchised stand-alone stores ranged from $85,502 to $1,129,713 of gross revenue in 2025. The highest store is 13.2 times the lowest*. The highest store is 2.06 times its own quartile’s average of $547,428*.
The gaps between quartiles are small at the boundaries. The lowest store in the top quartile had $409,219 and the highest in the second quartile $407,352. The second quartile ends at $278,174 and the third begins at $273,925.
The seven affiliate-operated stores are run by ALTN Houston, LLC, which is owned by some of the franchisor’s principal officers. All seven are in Texas. The FDD states they operate in a substantially similar manner to the franchised stand-alone stores. Their median of $458,020 is above their average of $425,303.
The 17 Micro Market businesses averaged $137,230. Micro Market territories have under 110,000 people, against at least 110,001 for a stand-alone store, and a Micro Market business may sit inside another approved business. Their range runs from $37,405 to $420,367.

|---|---|---|---|
| Royalty | 7% of gross revenue, minimum $500 a month | $22,494 | 7.00% |
| National Marketing Fund | 2% of gross revenue; may rise to 3% | $6,427 | 2.00% |
| Technology fee | $350 a month; may rise to no more than $600 | $4,200 | 1.31% |
| Physician processing fee | Up to $2 per requisition or injection | Not computable | Not computable |
| Constant Contact licence | $15 a month, currently paid by the franchisor | $0 | 0.00% |
| Advertising cooperative | 1% to 3% of gross revenue, if implemented; none in effect | $0 | 0.00% |
| Local advertising requirement, spent by the owner | $2,000 a month, stand-alone; $750 a month, Micro Market | $24,000 | 7.47% |
| Total | $57,121* | 17.78%* |
Charges paid to the franchisor (royalty, marketing fund and technology fee) come to $33,121, or 10.31% of the average. The local advertising requirement is money the owner spends; a shortfall is paid to the franchisor.
The charges paid to the franchisor came to 10.31% of revenue at the 2025 all-store average. That is the 7% royalty, the 2% National Marketing Fund and $4,200 a year of technology fee on $321,341*. The physician processing fee of up to $2 a requisition or injection is charged on top and depends on volume.
The local advertising requirement adds 7.47% at the average. A stand-alone store must spend $2,000 a month on local marketing. If it spends less in a month, it pays the franchisor the difference, which goes into the National Marketing Fund. With the requirement, the total is 17.78% at the average, 14.15% at the top-quartile average and 27.48% at the bottom-quartile average*.
The $500 monthly minimum royalty applies in any month gross revenue is below $7,143. That is $500 divided by 7%*. The lowest stand-alone store in 2025 had $85,502 for the year.
Royalty and fund fees are paid monthly by ACH, starting the first full month after opening. A grand opening spend of at least $3,000 is also required before and during the first three months.
