What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 1 800 Packouts's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2023, there were zero company-owned outlets in operation. At the start of 2023, there was one company-owned outlet, but it appears to have been sold to a franchisee during the year, resulting in a net change of -1.
Specifically, the one company-owned outlet was located in Georgia. During 2023, this outlet was sold to a franchisee, resulting in zero company-owned outlets remaining by the end of the year. This indicates a complete shift away from company-owned operations during that period.
For a prospective franchisee, this information highlights that 1 800 Packouts primarily focuses on a franchise model rather than operating company-owned stores. This could mean that the franchisor's expertise and support are geared more towards franchisee success than managing their own outlets. It may also suggest that the franchisor sees franchising as a more efficient way to expand the 1 800 Packouts brand.
