What was the total number of Anago franchise transfers in 2024?

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of domestic franchise transfers in 2024 was 2. This figure is derived from a table that tracks transfers of domestic outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers back to Anago itself. The table provides a breakdown of transfers by state. Specifically, in 2024, there were 0 transfers in Arizona, 1 in Minnesota, and 1 in Ohio, totaling 2 transfers.

It is important to note that these figures pertain specifically to Subfranchisees, which is the franchise type offered in the FDD, and do not include data for Unit Franchisees within the Anago system. The numbers reflect transfers that occurred as of December 31, 2024. This distinction is crucial for prospective franchisees to understand, as the transfer activity of Unit Franchisees is not represented in this data.

For a potential Anago franchisee, this information offers insight into the resale market and the likelihood of being able to sell their franchise to another party. A low number of transfers could indicate stability within the franchise system, but it could also suggest challenges in reselling a franchise. Conversely, a higher number might point to a more active resale market, but could also signal potential issues with franchisee success or satisfaction.

Prospective franchisees should further investigate the reasons behind franchise transfers by speaking with current and former Anago franchisees. Understanding the context behind these transfers can provide a more comprehensive view of the franchise's health and the experiences of those operating within the system. Additionally, it would be prudent to inquire about any specific requirements or restrictions Anago places on franchise transfers, as these could impact the franchisee's ability to exit the business should they choose to do so.
