How many Apricot Lane franchise outlets were transferred to new owners in Arizona during 2024?

According to Apricot Lane's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one transfer of an Apricot Lane franchise to a new owner in Arizona during the fiscal year 2024. This information is detailed in Table No. 2, which specifically tracks transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers involving the franchisor. The table provides a state-by-state breakdown of these transfers for the fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024.

For a prospective Apricot Lane franchisee, understanding the transfer activity can offer insights into the stability and desirability of existing franchise locations. A higher number of transfers might indicate a healthy market for reselling franchises, while a low number could suggest that franchisees tend to hold onto their locations for longer periods. It is important to note that this table only accounts for transfers to new owners and does not include instances where the Apricot Lane reacquires the franchise.

Reviewing transfer data in conjunction with other information in the FDD, such as the reasons for franchisees ceasing operations (as detailed in Note 1), can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing franchise ownership changes within the Apricot Lane system. This allows potential franchisees to assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in an Apricot Lane franchise in a specific state.
