What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two instances of New Jersey being listed in the provided tables. One table indicates that zero Annex Brands outlets opened in New Jersey during 2023, while another table indicates that one outlet opened.
Specifically, one table shows that the number of outlets in New Jersey remained constant at two from the start to the end of 2023, indicating no new openings. The other table shows the number of outlets in New Jersey went from four at the start of 2023 to five at the end of the year, indicating one new opening.
Given the conflicting information within the Item 20 tables, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Annex Brands regarding the discrepancy in outlet opening data for New Jersey in 2023. It would be prudent to inquire about the reasons for these differing figures to gain a clearer understanding of the franchise's growth and performance in that specific state.
