What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several states had exactly one outlet operating at the end of 2024. These states include Arkansas (AR), California (CA), Delaware (DE), Florida (FL), Indiana (IN), Iowa (IA), Kentucky (KY), Louisiana (LA), Maryland (MD), Massachusetts (MA), Michigan (MI), Nebraska (NE), Nevada (NV), North Carolina (NC), New Mexico (NM), Ohio (OH), Oregon (OR), Pennsylvania (PA), South Dakota (SD), Tennessee (TN), Utah (UT), and Wisconsin (WI). However, it is important to note that in Minnesota (MN) and Mississippi (MS), there were no outlets operating at the end of 2024 due to locations ceasing operations for other reasons.
This information is crucial for prospective franchisees as it provides a clear picture of Annex Brands's existing market presence across different states. A state with only one outlet might represent an opportunity for growth and market penetration, but it could also indicate a market that is difficult to establish. Conversely, states with more outlets might offer the benefit of brand recognition and established operational systems.
It is also worth noting the reasons behind outlet closures, such as 'ceased operations for other reasons,' as this could point to challenges within specific markets. A prospective franchisee should investigate these reasons further to assess the viability of operating in those areas. Understanding these dynamics can help a franchisee make an informed decision about where to invest and operate their Annex Brands franchise.
