The franchiser receives a combination of fixed monthly fees and 4% of gross sales in royalties from franchise stores.

"Our royalties continue to increase at a rapid pace due to many new store openings and existing stores maturing, resulting in higher sales and a growing base of loyal customers," says Ken Sully, President, PCA. "We have been adding new retail lines such as E-Bay drop-off and listing services and large or heavy item crate and freight shipping, which we expect will have a positive impact on future store retail sales and royalty payments," Sully added.

Currently, the PCA retail network consists of 70 franchisee stores open or sold in 21 states. In the first six months of 2004 PCA collected $86,758 in royalty revenues with first quarter royalties jumping 43.5% and second quarter increasing 32.8%.
