70% of the automotive franchises in our Kansas dataset disclose Item 19 financial performance representations. Among the 20 that report unit revenue, the median is $986K per location per year. The remainder rely on Item 1 (business background) and Item 7 (initial investment) without making earnings claims.

Kansas City metro spans two states — territory definitions in Item 12 should be reviewed for KS/MO line treatment. Right-to-work state with low operating costs.
Kansas does not require state-level franchise registration, so no separate state-level verification is needed. The federal FTC Rule still requires the franchisor to provide the FDD at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything.
