Mr. Appliance: what their numbers say

Discloses only average/median Gross Sales Per Job by quartile ($229-$365 avg per job). No total revenue, profit, or owner income data provided. Excludes 48 businesses (transfers, new opens, closures). Significant cherry-picking by omitting profitability entirely.

1 Percent Lists: what their numbers say

No financial performance representations made. Franchisor explicitly states it does not authorize any representations about franchisee future performance or outlet historical performance.
