What a unit sells
Item 19 is optional and is the franchisor's own representation. It is shown here as filed, with the franchisor's measure, sample and period, and nothing is estimated where it is missing.
| Measure | annual Gross Sales, franchised service centers, by quartile and system | |
|---|---|---|
| Sample | 1,732 units: all franchised service centers open for 12 full months in calendar 2025 (system row; 2024: 1,654 centers, median $972,574; 2023: 1,661, median $967,463) | |
| Period | 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31 | |

Revenue to investment
Formula: Item 19 2025 system median / Item 7 total (midpoint, low, high); investment excludes land and building under a build-to-suit lease. A ratio of 1.00 means one year of median unit revenue equals the investment; it says nothing about profit.

Closures are the franchisor's Item 20 counts of units terminated, not renewed, or ceased for other reasons, summed over 2023–2025 and divided by franchised units at the start of 2023. Units the franchisor reacquired are not closures. This is an Item 20 count, not a failure rate.

Source and method
Every figure above comes from the Jiffy Lube Franchise Disclosure Document issued 2026-03-27 and amended 2026-07-01, as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (filing 640520, registry record). The PDF is the franchisor's and is not hosted here; the item and page beside each figure is where to check it. Item 7 and Item 20 tables were read cell by cell; Item 19 was read by hand; each Item 20 year was checked to sum (start + opened − exits = end) before it was recorded.
