How much does a PremierGarage franchise make?
PremierGarage’s 43 single-territory franchisees open all of 2025 averaged $375,255 of garage sales and their median was $311,520. The brand’s disclosure document discloses revenue and not profit, so what an owner keeps depends on the cost structure set out below. Fees come off the top first, at about 6.8% of sales across royalty, brand fund and the rest of the stack. Revenue is not income. Rent, wages, cost of goods and the franchise fees all come out before an owner is paid. The figures for the highest-selling and lowest-selling businesses are below.
Top performers
What separates the top PremierGarage performers
PremierGarage publishes percentiles for its owners instead of grouped averages. The PremierGarage 75th percentile single-territory owner reported $546,615 of sales in 2025. The PremierGarage 25th percentile single-territory owner reported $139,249. Both run the same brand, on the same agreement, paying the same fees. The middle location sold $311,520. The average was $375,255. More than half the system is below the number the brand quotes.
Decided before you open
- Site and trade area.The PremierGarage 75th percentile single-territory owner sells 3.9× the 25th percentile owner. Catchment, daytime population and neighboring businesses affect where a location falls.
- Territory.This model sells from a territory quoted at 100,000 households, with no storefront. Population density sets how much driving sits between jobs.
- Opening cost range.Opening costs $186,730 to $284,250, a 1.5× range inside one brand.
- Fees and the minimum.Fees run about 6.8% 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.
Live operating levers
- Sales depend on service calls.A technician finishes only so many calls a day, so the owner works on how many of them turn into paid work and what the average ticket is worth.
Context you underwrite around
- Locations included.These figures cover 67 PremierGarage franchisees holding 135 territories, every PremierGarage territory open for all of 2025. Locations open less than the full year, brand-owned, or not meeting the reporting criteria are excluded.
- What the filing does not include.Item 19 publishes no profit or cost data for franchised locations. Ask the franchisor or current owners for cost and profit figures.

One territory or several
Single and multiple territory sales, 2025
| Measure | Single territory, 43 | Multiple territories, 24 | Multi, for each territory * | Single ahead by * |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average | $375,255 | $1,520,237 | $396,584 | −5.4% |
| 75th percentile | $546,615 | $2,349,839 | $613,001 | −10.8% |
| Median | $311,520 | $697,095 | $181,851 | +71.3% |
| Middle half, average | $297,792 | $902,701 | $235,487 | +26.5% |
| Middle half, median | $295,251 | $681,342 | $177,741 | +66.1% |
| 25th percentile | $139,249 | $447,948 | $116,856 | +19.2% |
| Range | $12,270 to $1,590,333 | $53,714 to $6,132,794 | n/a | n/a |
The first two figure columns are as the brand reported it. The two right-hand columns are marked *, dividing the multi-territory figures by 3.8333. That is the 92 territories those 24 franchisees held divided among them.
The multi-territory group includes one franchisee billing $6,132,794. Its median is 45.9% of its mean, against 83.0% for the single-territory group *.
Through the middle half of each group, single territories bill 26.5% more per territory. $297,792 against $235,487 for each territory *, and this is the comparison with the outliers stripped from both sides, which makes it the one to trust.
Single-territory franchisees are 64.2% of the reporting group and 30.7% of its revenue. That is 43 of 67, holding 43 of 135 territories *, so two thirds of the owners in this system work about a third of the ground.
The system produces $389,790 for each territory it holds. $52,621,653 across 135 *, which on a territory of roughly 100,000 households is $3.90 for each household, before allowing for the older territories that differ in size.
The year that split them
Sales by group, 2024 and 2025
| Measure | Single 2024 | Single 2025 | Change * | Multi 2024 | Multi 2025 | Change * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average | $314,012 | $375,255 | +19.50% | $1,462,780 | $1,520,237 | +3.93% |
| Median | $217,586 | $311,520 | +43.17% | $852,163 | $697,095 | −18.20% |
| 75th percentile | $354,700 | $546,615 | +54.11% | $1,744,570 | $2,349,839 | +34.69% |
| Middle half, average | $229,745 | $297,792 | +29.62% | $943,457 | $902,701 | −4.32% |
| Middle half, median | $217,586 | $295,251 | +35.69% | $905,796 | $681,342 | −24.78% |
| 25th percentile | $119,341 | $139,249 | +16.68% | $422,519 | $447,948 | +6.02% |
Both years are as the brand reported it; the change columns are marked *.
The single-territory median gained 43.17% in one year. That is $217,586 to $311,520 *. It is the largest single-year move on any measure here, and it happened in the half of the system with the least ground.
Three of the multi-territory group’s six measures fell. The median, the middle half’s average and the middle half’s median fell 18.20%, 4.32% and 24.78% *, while its 75th percentile rose 34.69%, so the top of that group pulled away from its own middle.
Both groups lifted their lowest-selling quarter. The 25th percentile rose 16.68% for single-territory franchisees and 6.02% for multi-territory ones *, so the lower quarter improved on both sides even as the middles diverged.
A minimum for each territory
Continuing fees and minimum

| Royalty | 5.0% of sales | $500 a month in year one, $1,000 thereafter | $12,000 | $240,000 |
| National advertising fund | 1% of sales | $250 a month | $3,000 | $300,000 |
| Both together | 6.0% | n/a | $15,000 | n/a |
| Technology | n/a | $250 a month for the first territory, $125 for each further one | $3,000, then $1,500 | n/a |
Rates and minimums are as the brand reported it; the two right-hand columns are marked *.
| Business | Sales | Royalty * | Advertising * | Technology * | All of it * | As a share * |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single territory, average | $375,255 | $18,763 | $3,753 | $3,000 | $25,515 | 6.80% |
| Single territory, median | $311,520 | $15,576 | $3,115 | $3,000 | $21,691 | 6.96% |
| Single territory, 25th percentile | $139,249 | $12,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $18,000 | 12.93% |
| Multi-territory, average | $1,520,237 | $76,012 | $15,202 | $7,250 | $98,464 | 6.48% |
| Multi-territory, median | $697,095 | $46,000 | $11,500 | $7,250 | $64,750 | 9.29% |
| Multi-territory, 25th percentile | $447,948 | $46,000 | $11,500 | $7,250 | $64,750 | 14.45% |
Revenue figures are as the brand reported it. Every fee column is marked *, applying the greater of the rate or the minimum to each territory and assuming 3.83 territories for the multi-territory rows and the mature $1,000 monthly royalty minimum.
The median multi-territory franchisee pays the minimum on every territory it holds. $46,000 of royalty against $34,855 at a straight 5% *, so its all-in rate is 9.29% against a headline 6%, while the median single-territory franchisee pays 6.96%.
At the 25th percentile the multi-territory owner pays 14.45% and the single-territory owner 12.93%. Each territory carries the same $15,000 minimum *, and the multi-territory owner is paying it 3.83 times over on revenue that averages $116,856 for each territory.
Buying a second territory costs $45,000 at the same time and $55,000 later. The first territory carries a $55,000 initial territory fee and a $19,950 franchise fee *, so two territories cost $119,950 to the brand before any equipment, against $74,950 for one.
Entry runs 26 to 39 weeks of a single-territory business’s sales. That is $186,730 to $284,250 against $375,255 *, carrying a vehicle at $10,000 to $55,000, a trailer at $10,000 to $20,000, a forklift at $6,000 to $14,000 and a $37,500 tools and supplies package.

Counts are as the brand reported it; the net change column is marked *.
The system is 20.2% smaller than it was at the start of 2023. 168 territories down to 134 *, and the contraction ran at a similar pace in each of the last two years, at 9.3% and 8.2%.
2025 brought zero openings and 12 departures. 7 non-renewals and 5 closures for other reasons *, and the brand projects 1 opening for the year ahead against zero agreements already signed.
Ceased operations for other reasons is the largest PremierGarage exit line across 2024 and 2025 combined. 16 in 2024 and 5 in 2025 against 3 terminations and 7 non-renewals combined *, so departures here are mostly owners choosing to stop.
The PremierGarage single-territory average rose 19.50% in 2025. The PremierGarage single-territory group shrank from 45 franchisees to 43 in the same year*.
Questions we get asked
Questions owners ask.
How much does a PremierGarage franchise make?
PremierGarage’s 43 single-territory franchisees open all of 2025 averaged $375,255 of garage sales, with a median of $311,520, according to Item 19 of PremierGarage’s 2026 FDD, issued 20 March 2026. PremierGarage’s Item 19 covers 67 franchisees holding 135 territories, which PremierGarage says is every territory open for all of 2025. Fees paid to PremierGarage come to about 6.8%* of sales. A PremierGarage franchise costs $186,730 to $284,250 to open.
What does a PremierGarage franchisee bill?
A single-territory franchisee averaged $375,255 in 2025 against a median of $311,520, across a range of $12,270 to $1,590,333. A multi-territory franchisee, holding 3.8 territories on average, averaged $1,520,237 against a median of $697,095, across $53,714 to $6,132,794.
Is a second territory worth it at PremierGarage?
On the PremierGarage figures the answer is mixed. For each territory held, a multi-territory franchisee averaged $396,584 against a single territory’s $375,255, ahead by 5.4%. But at the median it produced $181,851 for each territory against $311,520, and through the middle half of each group $235,487 against $297,792. The average is carried by a franchisee billing $6,132,794.
Which group had the better year at PremierGarage?
Single-territory PremierGarage franchisees had the better year. Their average rose 19.50% and their median 43.17% between 2024 and 2025, while the multi-territory average rose 3.93% and its median fell 18.20%. Both groups lost franchisees over the same period, so some of the single-territory gain is the lowest-selling businesses leaving.
What fees does PremierGarage charge?
The royalty is the greater of 5% of sales or $500 a month for each territory in year one and $1,000 a month thereafter. PremierGarage charges an advertising fund payment of the greater of 1% or $250 a month for each territory. Technology costs $250 a month for the first territory and $125 for each further one. Both minimums may rise with the consumer price index each April.
When does the minimum bite at PremierGarage?
On our reading, the minimums apply below $240,000 of annual revenue in a territory for the royalty and below $300,000 for the advertising fund. So the median multi-territory franchisee pays 9.29% of revenue all in against a 6% headline. Its territories average $181,851 apiece. So the minimum applies to each of them.
How much does a PremierGarage franchise cost to open?
A PremierGarage franchise costs $186,730 to $284,250 to open, of which $74,950 goes to the brand as a $19,950 franchise fee and a $55,000 initial territory fee. Two territories bought at once cost $119,950 to the brand. Veterans and their spouses receive 15% off both fees.
How stable is the PremierGarage system?
It is contracting. Territories went from 168 at the start of 2023 to 134 at the end of 2025, a fall of 20.2%. There were zero openings in 2025 against 7 non-renewals and 5 other closures, with 1 opening projected for the following year.

- The filing breaks out no cost lines. Wages, rent and cost of goods are not broken out, so margin cannot be rebuilt from the document.
