Right at Home FDD: sales and earnings
Right at Home gives figures under Item 19, an FDD section where a brand may state the sales or earnings of its locations. For 2025, the headline figure is $1,836,498 in average yearly billings per office, across 390 franchised locations with a year or more of operation. It is money the store takes in, not profit, because rent, wages and every other cost get paid from it.
