What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a total of 12 outlets ceased operations for reasons other than terminations, non-renewals, or reacquisition by the franchisor during 2023. This figure is derived from the 'Totals' row in the provided table. These closures can occur for a variety of reasons, such as the franchisee's decision to close the location due to poor performance, health issues, or other personal circumstances.
Breaking down the closures by state, one Annex Brands location in Alabama, one in Maryland, one in Mississippi, one in North Carolina, one in New York, one in South Carolina, four in California, and four in one other unspecified state ceased operations for other reasons during 2023.
It's important to note that 'Ceased Operations for Other Reasons' does not necessarily indicate a negative reflection on the Annex Brands franchise system itself. However, prospective franchisees should inquire about the specific reasons for these closures to better understand the potential risks and challenges of operating an Annex Brands franchise. Understanding the context behind these closures can provide valuable insights into factors that may impact the success of a franchise location.
