What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, across several tables detailing outlet information, the number of outlets re-acquired from franchisees in 2022 was zero. This applies to PostalAnnex/PostalAnnex+ retail centers, Handle With Care Packaging Store retail centers, AIM Mail retail centers, Sunshine Pack & Ship retail centers, and Pak Mail retail centers.
Specifically, one table provides a general overview, showing zero re-acquisitions in 2022. Other tables break down outlet data by state, and the 'Reacquired By Franchisor' column consistently shows '0' for 2022 across various states like Wisconsin, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Texas, Virginia, Alabama, and others. This indicates that Annex Brands did not re-acquire any franchised locations during that year.
This information is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the stability of the franchise network. The absence of re-acquisitions could suggest that franchisees are generally successful and that Annex Brands does not frequently need to take back control of underperforming locations. However, it is important to consider this data in conjunction with other factors, such as terminations and non-renewals, to get a comprehensive understanding of franchisee turnover and the overall health of the Annex Brands franchise system.
