What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 Aerus outlets in Maryland that closed due to non-renewal in 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details outlet information by state and year, including the number of outlets at the start and end of the year, as well as changes due to openings, terminations, non-renewals, franchisor requirements, and other reasons for ceasing operations.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is valuable in assessing the stability and performance of Aerus franchises in specific geographic areas. A high number of non-renewals could indicate issues with franchisee profitability, support, or brand reputation in that region. It's important to note that non-renewal doesn't necessarily mean the business was unsuccessful, but rather that the franchisee chose not to continue operating under the Aerus brand.
It is also important to consider the overall context of outlet changes. While Maryland had 2 non-renewals, other states had higher numbers, and the total number of non-renewals across all states was 30 in 2024. This data should be analyzed in conjunction with other factors, such as the number of new Aerus franchises opened and the reasons for terminations or other closures, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the franchise system's health.
