Every cited investment range, franchise fee, royalty rate, and total-unit count on this page is sourced live from FranchiseStack's `franchises` PostgreSQL table at migration time. Each row was loaded from the franchisor's most recent FDD filing (Item 7 for fees, Item 19 for revenue and unit economics) and is bound to the franchise profile linked below each table row.
The cohort median is the 50th-percentile investment among the franchises FranchiseStack classified into this category. It is computed by `percentile_cont(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY initial_investment_min)` at migration time against the live `franchises` table. Showing it under the ranked picks lets you see whether a brand sits above or below the cohort-typical entry cost.
