What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 3 Aerus outlets in Massachusetts at the end of 2024. The FDD provides a detailed table showing the changes in outlet numbers over the past three years. In 2024, there were no outlets opened, reacquired, closed, or sold to franchisees in Massachusetts, leaving the total at 3.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the recent stability of Aerus's presence in Massachusetts. While there were changes in previous years (with 6 outlets at the start of 2023, decreasing to 3 by the end of 2024), the number has remained constant in the last year reported. This could suggest a stable market or limited growth opportunities in the state.
It's important to note that these figures include both franchised and company-owned Aerus businesses. A potential franchisee should investigate the distribution of franchised versus company-owned stores to understand the competitive landscape and the franchisor's strategic focus in Massachusetts. Further research into the reasons for the outlet closures and sales in 2023 could also provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the Massachusetts market.
