Jet's Pizza FDD: Sales and earnings figures
No sales or earnings figures appear in Item 19, so what Jet's Pizza locations sell or earn goes unmentioned in its FDD. Ask the owners listed under Item 20, the FDD's list covering locations and owners, how much they earn.
Before you rely on any figure in it, see this guide on reading an Item 19.

Before you buy, a brand has to hand over its Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD); the brand's latest one is where every figure comes from. After opening, the royalty is what you still pay the brand: a share of sales or a set amount. The "Sales or earnings shown" label shows if the brand says what locations take in. A K stands for thousand, an M for million. The filing year is the year that FDD was listed with the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
