What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, two Aerus outlets in Maryland did not renew their franchise agreements in 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details outlet data by state and year, including the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets required to close by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
For Maryland specifically, the table shows that in 2024, there were eight outlets at the start of the year. No new outlets were opened, there were no terminations or outlets closed for other reasons, but two franchise agreements were not renewed. This resulted in six outlets at the end of 2024.
This information is valuable for potential Aerus franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and turnover of franchises in specific states. A high number of non-renewals could indicate issues with franchise profitability, franchisee satisfaction, or market conditions within that state, which would warrant further investigation.
