Does FS8’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. FS8’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (7% of Gross Sales) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Item 19 (PDF pages 65-67) covers 7 of 39 franchised U.S. Studios; the other 32 had not operated for the full 12-month period. Annual Gross Sales ranged from $292,232 to $1,152,971. By thirds, averages were $847,714 (top 2 Studios), $442,119 (middle 2) and $326,985 (bottom 3). Sales come from Studio point-of-sale reports that the franchisor does not audit.
How to interpret FS8’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
Item 6 states the Brand Fund only as up to 2% of Gross Sales or $200 per month, whichever is higher, without a current rate, and the royalty may rise with the Consumer Price Index from the fifth year. A single sales figure cannot establish those charges, so this record does not produce an annual fee estimate or payback preset. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected FS8 disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 7 of 39 franchised U.S. Studios, those open at least 12 months by February 28, 2026; 2 (28.6%) were above the average. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
