Section IV – News Updates on the Lawn Pride Franchise
Section V – Financial Performance Representations (Average Revenues and/or Profits) for the Lawn Pride Franchise (Item 19, 2023 FDD)
- Because Lawn Pride only started franchising in January 2023, this Item 19 only contains data from Lawn Pride’s one affiliate-owned Lawn Pride business located in Indianapolis, Indiana and referenced in Item 20. The following charts and tables are a historic financial performance representation and are not a forecast of future financial performance.
- As used herein, “Gross Sales” means and includes the total revenues and receipts from whatever source (whether in the form of cash, credit, agreement to pay, barter, trade, or other consideration) that arise, directly or indirectly, from the operation of – or in connection with – a Lawn Pride business whether under any of the Marks or otherwise.
- Gross Sales exclude sales taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority and any other bona fide refunds, rebates, or discounts that Lawn Pride authorizes in writing. Gross Sales also exclude sales from any Excluded Services (as defined in the Excluded Services Addendum).
- The below two tables present historical average and median gross sales per customer invoice data for Lawn Pride’s one affiliate-operated Lawn Pride business located in Indianapolis, Indiana. This business has been in operation since 1993 and so it is a mature, established business. Its territory is estimated to include 661,075 single family households, which is approximately 14 times more single family households than will be included in a typical territory of a franchised business offered under the Franchise Disclosure Document.
- This affiliate-owned Lawn Pride business historically provided certain services that will not be offered by the Lawn Pride franchised businesses offered under the Franchise Disclosure Document (e.g., snow removal services or flying insect control services). Therefore, the data related to such services were excluded from the data presented in this Item 19.
