Do the numbers in Item 20 of the Anago FDD reflect Unit Franchisees?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the numbers presented in Item 20 specifically pertain to Subfranchisees and do not reflect the figures for Unit Franchisees within the Anago system. This distinction is crucial for prospective franchisees to understand, as the performance and operational data provided in Item 20 will be indicative of the Subfranchise model, not the Unit Franchise model. All the figures presented are as of December 31 for each year.

This means that when reviewing the tables and data in Item 20, such as the Systemwide Domestic Outlet Summary for the years 2022 to 2024, or the tables detailing outlet transfers, openings, and closures, a potential franchisee should recognize that these statistics reflect the activities of Subfranchisees. These are the franchisees who have the right to sell franchises to others. The tables do not reflect the performance or numbers related to the Unit Franchisees who perform the cleaning services.

For a prospective franchisee, this distinction highlights the importance of understanding the different roles within the Anago franchise system. While Item 20 provides valuable information, it is essential to request and consider additional data that specifically relates to Unit Franchisees to gain a comprehensive understanding of their potential performance and the overall health of the Anago franchise system. Understanding the performance of both Subfranchisees and Unit Franchisees will allow a prospective franchisee to assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in an Anago franchise.
