What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Apricot Lane's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no specific data available regarding franchise terminations in Alabama for 2024. While Item 20 provides detailed tables on outlet openings, terminations, non-renewals, and other changes in outlet status by state, Alabama is not listed in these tables for the years 2022, 2023, or 2024. This suggests that there may not have been any Apricot Lane franchises operating in Alabama during those years, or that any changes in franchise status were not significant enough to warrant a separate listing.
Item 20 includes tables outlining the status of company-owned and franchised outlets, as well as projected new franchised outlets. However, these tables do not offer specific information on terminations within individual states. Instead, they provide a broader overview of outlet activity across different states and years.
A prospective Apricot Lane franchisee interested in the Alabama market should directly inquire with the franchisor about the brand's historical and current presence in the state. Specifically, they should ask about the number of franchises that have operated in Alabama, any terminations or non-renewals that have occurred, and the franchisor's plans for future expansion in the state. This information is crucial for assessing the viability and potential risks of investing in an Apricot Lane franchise in Alabama.
