What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no company-owned Aerus outlets that closed in Missouri during 2022. The provided table, "TABLE 4 STATUS OF COMPANY-OWNED OUTLETS FOR YEARS 2022 TO 2024", indicates that at the start of 2022, there were zero company-owned outlets in Missouri. Throughout 2022, there were no outlets opened, and the number of outlets at the end of the year remained at zero.
This suggests that Aerus did not have a company-owned presence in Missouri during that period. A prospective franchisee should note that this information pertains specifically to company-owned stores and not franchised locations. The performance and activity of franchised outlets would be detailed separately.
For a potential franchisee, this data highlights the importance of understanding the different operational models within the Aerus franchise system. While the absence of company-owned stores in a particular state does not directly reflect on the potential success of a franchise, it may indicate the company's strategic focus or market development approach. It would be prudent for a prospective franchisee to discuss with Aerus the reasons behind this and the company's plans for company-owned versus franchised growth in Missouri.
