What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 223 Aerus outlets open at the start of 2022. This number includes both franchised and company-owned outlets. Specifically, there were 213 franchised outlets and 10 company-owned outlets operating at the beginning of 2022.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing scale of Aerus's operations at that time. It's important to note that the number of outlets subsequently decreased during 2022, with a net change of -15 outlets, resulting in 208 total outlets by the end of the year. This decline was primarily due to a reduction in the number of franchised locations.
It is essential for potential franchisees to consider these trends when evaluating the franchise opportunity. Understanding the dynamics of outlet openings and closures can provide insights into the overall health and stability of the Aerus franchise system. Further research into the reasons behind these changes would be a prudent step for anyone considering investing in an Aerus franchise.
