Talk to Averan → Averan Pink’s Window Services Conversion Package →- The 24 reporting franchisees averaged $281,886* of gross revenue in 2025, or $130,101* a territory. Item 19 reports an average, median, highest and lowest for three groups of eight franchisees. The franchisee averages ran from $104,169 to $514,509.
- The royalty is 7% of gross revenue or $346 a week for each territory, whichever is greater. The weekly minimum is $17,992* a year a territory. A territory has to bill more than $257,029* a year before 7% of its revenue exceeds the minimum.
- At the weekly minimum, royalties on the 52 reporting territories come to $935,584* a year, or 13.83%* of their combined gross revenue. 7% of the same revenue is $473,569*. Item 19 does not give each franchisee’s territory count, so the royalty each one paid cannot be worked out from the FDD.
- Item 12 requires $300,000 of gross revenue a territory in the second year, $400,000 in years 3 to 5 and $500,000 in years 6 to 10. The 52 reporting territories averaged $130,101*, which is 43.4%* of the year-two figure. Item 19 does not say how long each territory had been open. Below the minimum, the franchisor may reduce the territory, terminate the agreement or require more training.
- Average job size ran from $339 in the bottom third to $737 in the top third. Close rates ran from 48% to 68% by third. Item 19 ranks franchisees separately for revenue, job size and close rate, so each set of thirds holds a different mix of businesses.

| Group | Franchisees | Territories | Average | Highest | Median | Lowest | At or above the group average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top third | 8 | 26 | $412,550 | $514,509 | $424,754 | $335,000 | 4 (50%) |

| All 24 | 24 | 52 | $281,886* | $514,509 | $285,207 | $104,169 |
Source: Item 19, Part I. Gross revenue includes all sales whether or not collected, and excludes sales tax, documented refunds and documented promotional discounts. The All row average is Averan’s: each third’s average multiplied by 8, added, and divided by 24. With 8 franchisees in each third, the middle third’s median is also the median of all 24.
The 24 reporting franchisees averaged $281,886* of gross revenue in 2025. Item 19 reports the figures in three groups of eight, ranked by revenue: the top third averaged $412,550, the middle third $284,179 and the bottom third $148,930. The median of all 24 was $285,207. The highest franchisee took $514,509 and the lowest $104,169.
The 24 franchisees operated 52 territories, so revenue averaged $130,101* a territory. The top third held 26 territories, the middle third 15 and the bottom third 11.
Item 19 covers 24 of the 94 franchisees open at December 31, 2025. It excludes 68 franchisees operating 109 territories that opened their first territory during 2025, and one franchisee that did not complete the survey properly and is in material default. The franchisor surveyed the 25 franchisees open in their first territory for 12 or more months.
Item 19 reports no costs, expenses or profit. It reports gross revenue, average job size and close rate for franchisees, and gross and recurring revenue for two affiliate-owned businesses.
The affiliate-owned business in Austin, Texas, took $1,122,857.52 of gross revenue in 2025, $632,803 of it recurring. Recurring revenue was 56.4%* of the total. The second affiliate-owned business, in Lakeway, Texas, took $239,395.27, $105,541 of it recurring, or 44.1%*. Item 19 counts revenue as recurring when the customer is on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, biannual or annual maintenance plan. The Austin business opened in 2020 and the Lakeway business in 2024; each operates in one territory.
Job size and close rate
Job size and close rate, 2025
| Measure | Group | Territories | Average | Highest | Median | Lowest | At or above the group average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Job size | Top third | 25 | $737 | $875 | $737 | $600 | 4 (50%) |
| Job size | Middle third | 12 | $479 | $548 | $482 | $417 | 4 (50%) |

| Close rate | Bottom third | 22 | 48% | 54% | 45% | 37% | 6 (75%) |
Source: Item 19, Parts II and III. Each third holds 8 franchisees. Average job size is a group’s gross revenue divided by the jobs it completed.
Average job size ran from $269 to $875 across the 24 franchisees. The top third by job size averaged $737, the middle third $479 and the bottom third $339.
Close rates ran from 37% to 71%. The top third by close rate averaged 68%, the middle third 58% and the bottom third 48%. In the bottom third, 6 of the 8 franchisees were at or above the group average.
Each measure is ranked on its own. The top third by revenue held 26 territories, the top third by job size 25 and the top third by close rate 12, so the three tables group the 24 franchisees differently. Item 19 does not report how revenue, job size and close rate line up for any one franchisee.
Item 19 defines close rate as quotes sent divided by quotes won. That ratio cannot be below one, so the reported rates match quotes won divided by quotes sent.
Revenue a territory
Revenue a territory and the royalty minimum, 2025
| Group | Territories a franchisee* | Revenue a territory* | Combined revenue* | Royalty at the weekly minimum* | 7% of revenue* | Minimum as a share of revenue* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top third | 3.25 | $126,938 | $3,300,400 | $467,792 | $231,028 | 14.17% |
| Middle third | 1.88 | $151,562 | $2,273,432 | $269,880 | $159,140 | 11.87% |

| All 24 | 2.17 | $130,101 | $6,765,272 | $935,584 | $473,569 | 13.83% |
Source: Item 19, Part I, and Item 6. Every figure in the table is Averan’s. Combined revenue is the group average multiplied by 8. The royalty minimum is $346 a week, or $17,992 a year, for each territory, applied to every territory for the full year. Item 19 does not give each franchisee’s territory count, so a franchisee whose revenue a territory exceeded $257,029 would have paid 7% for that year.
The middle third had the highest revenue a territory, at $151,562*. The top third averaged $126,938* a territory across 3.25* territories each, and the bottom third $108,313* across 1.38*.
At the weekly minimum, the royalty on the 52 territories comes to $935,584* a year. That is 13.83%* of the group’s combined revenue of $6,765,272*. 7% of the same revenue is $473,569*, a difference of $462,015*.
The minimum is the larger amount while a territory bills less than $257,029* a year. Each third’s revenue a territory was below that level. The bottom third’s minimum came to 16.61%* of its revenue, the top third’s 14.17%* and the middle third’s 11.87%*.
The minimum starts on a set date for each territory. For the first territory it starts at opening or 120 days after the franchise agreement takes effect, whichever is earlier. For the second territory it starts at opening or seven months after, and for the third and each later territory at opening or 13 months after.

| National accounts and corporate sales | 5% of gross revenue on those sales, on top of the royalty | Not included |
| Paid to the brand (the first five less local advertising) | $56,021, or 19.87% of revenue |
Source: Item 6. The dollar column is Averan’s. It assumes a business past its first year, holding 2.17 territories, with the royalty and local advertising at their minimums, local advertising spend of $5,000 a month or less and technology at $650 a month. 7% of $281,886 is $19,732; 3% is $8,457. Local advertising is spent with third parties or the franchisor.
At the group average, the four recurring charges paid to the brand come to $56,021* a year, or 19.87%* of gross revenue. The royalty minimum is $38,983*. The brand fund at 2% is $5,638*, technology $7,800* and local advertising management $3,600*. The local advertising minimum of $24,000* is spent by the owner on top.
Two of the charges have minimums above their percentage rates at the group average. The royalty minimum of $38,983* compares with $19,732* at 7%, and the $24,000* advertising minimum with $8,457* at 3%. Local advertising alone is 8.51%* of the average revenue.
Several charges can rise. The brand fund can rise to 3% of gross revenue, the technology fee and the advertising management fee by up to 15% a year, and a cooperative, if formed, would charge the greater of 1% of gross revenue or $1,000 a month. Cooperative payments count toward the local advertising requirement.
Other fees apply on events. A transfer costs 20% of the then-current initial franchise fee plus broker costs, and a successor agreement 10%. Interim management by the franchisor costs 10% of gross revenue for the period.

Source: Item 7 and Item 5. The cover page states that $75,500 to $77,000 of the total is paid to the franchisor or its affiliates. Note 9 to the Item 7 table states a grand opening spend of $10,000 to $15,000, against $5,000 to $10,000 in the table.
Item 7 estimates $128,000 to $182,500 to open one territory. The largest lines are the $69,000 initial franchise fee and $25,000 to $50,000 of additional funds for the first three months. The estimate assumes a home office and a leased vehicle, so it includes no premises cost.
The franchisor receives $75,500 to $77,000 of the total. That is the $69,000 fee, a $5,000 marketing development fee and initial training fees of $1,500 to $3,000. A 10% discount on the first territory applies to clergy, realtors, first responders, veterans and entrepreneurs aged 29 and under.
A multi-unit agreement costs $128,000 for two territories, $177,000 for three and $226,000 for four. The fee is $69,000 for the first territory, $59,000 for the second and $49,000 for each further one. Item 7 puts the total for two territories at $187,000 to $241,500, before opening costs in the second territory.
Item 11 estimates 60 to 120 days from signing to opening. Opening later than 120 days after signing needs the franchisor’s consent.
