What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2024, there were 47 franchised outlets. This number is derived from Table No. 3, which provides the status of domestic subfranchise outlets. The table indicates that at the 'Start of Year' 2024, Anago had 47 franchised locations operating within the United States.
This figure is important for potential franchisees as it provides a snapshot of the established network size at the beginning of the year. It reflects the brand's existing footprint and market presence. A larger number of existing outlets might suggest a more mature and stable franchise system, which could be seen as a positive indicator for new franchisees. However, it is essential to consider this number in conjunction with other factors, such as outlet growth, closures, and transfers, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the franchise's performance and stability.
It is also important to note that these numbers pertain specifically to subfranchise outlets within the domestic market. The FDD clarifies that these numbers do not reflect the number of Unit Franchisees in the Anago system. A prospective franchisee should also consider the growth and changes in the number of outlets over the past few years to understand the trajectory of the Anago franchise system. Reviewing the number of outlets opened, reacquired, closed, and sold can provide valuable insights into the health and dynamics of the franchise network.
