What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aunt Millies Bakeries's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the outlet figures for the years 2022 to 2024 are calculated as of September 30th. This applies to both franchised and company-owned outlets. This date is important because it provides a consistent snapshot of the franchise system's size and composition at the end of each reporting period.
Specifically, the figures reported in Table No. 1, titled "Systemwide Outlet Summary For years 2022 to 2024," are as of September 30th. Similarly, Table No. 3, which details the "Status Franchised Outlets For years 2022 to 2024," also uses figures as of September 30th. Table No. 4, showing the "Status of Company-Owned Outlets For years 2022 to 2024," also uses figures as of September 30th.
For a prospective franchisee, understanding this date is crucial for interpreting the outlet data accurately. It means that any changes in outlet numbers (openings, closures, transfers, etc.) occurring after September 30th of a given year will not be reflected in the reported figures for that year. This is a common practice in franchise disclosure, as it provides a clear and consistent annual benchmark. Franchisees should keep this date in mind when comparing year-over-year data and assessing the overall health and growth of the Aunt Millies Bakeries franchise system.
