What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of franchised outlets operating at the end of 2023 varies depending on the table being referenced. One table shows 315 total outlets at the end of 2023. However, this table includes both franchised and company-owned locations. Another table indicates that there were 176 franchised outlets at the end of 2023. Yet another table shows 42 franchised outlets at the end of 2023. Finally, one more table shows 8 franchised outlets at the end of 2023. These numbers do not match.
It is important to note that Annex Brands operates several different franchise systems, including PostalAnnex, PostalAnnex+, Pak Mail, AIM Mail, Parcel Plus, Handle with Care Packaging Store, and Sunshine Pack & Ship. The different numbers likely reflect different franchise systems.
A prospective franchisee should clarify with Annex Brands which specific franchise system each of these numbers refers to, to understand the number of franchised outlets for the specific brand they are interested in.
