What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Aerus franchised outlets in the United States or Canada that were required to be closed by the franchisor in 2024. The tables included in Item 20 provide data on the status of franchised outlets for the years 2022 to 2024, detailing openings, terminations, non-renewals, closures required by the franchisor, and closures for other reasons.
Specifically, the tables show the number of outlets at the start and end of each year, as well as changes in outlet status. For 2024, the 'Required by Franchisor' column indicates how many outlets, if any, were closed at the franchisor's direction. The data is broken down by state and province, offering a detailed view of outlet activity across different regions.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is reassuring as it indicates that Aerus has not forced any closures in the past three years. However, it is important to note other reasons for closures, such as non-renewals or ceasing operations for other reasons, which may still impact the stability of the franchise network. It is also important to note that the tables include both franchised and company-owned Aerus Businesses operating in the United States and Canada.
