What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were multiple brands operating under the Annex Brands umbrella. To determine if any locations in Pennsylvania were reacquired by Annex Brands during 2022, it is necessary to examine the data for each brand separately. The brands include PostalAnnex/PostalAnnex+, Pak Mail, and AIM Mail. The provided data tracks the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
For the PostalAnnex/PostalAnnex+ brand, the table shows that in Pennsylvania during 2022, there were 5 locations at the start of the year and 5 at the end of the year, with zero reacquired by the franchisor. For the Pak Mail brand, the table shows that in Pennsylvania during 2022, there was 1 location at the start and end of the year, with zero reacquired by the franchisor. For the AIM Mail brand, the table shows that in Pennsylvania during 2022, there were 2 locations at the start and end of the year, with zero reacquired by the franchisor.
In summary, across all three brands, Annex Brands did not reacquire any locations in Pennsylvania during 2022. Prospective franchisees can use this information to understand the stability and changes in the franchise network over time. Reacquisitions can sometimes indicate issues with franchisee performance or strategic decisions by the franchisor, so a lack of reacquisitions may be viewed positively.
