What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aunt Millies Bakeries' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 11 franchise terminations across all states in 2024. This information is based on figures as of September 30, 2024.
Specifically, Illinois saw 2 terminations, Indiana had 1, Kentucky also had 1, Michigan experienced 2, and Ohio had 5 terminations. No terminations were reported for the other states listed, such as Wisconsin and Tennessee, as they do not have any franchised locations.
Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to termination rates as they can be indicative of the overall health and stability of the franchise system. High termination rates might suggest issues with the business model, franchisee support, or market conditions. It is also important to note that the franchisor may reacquire and resell routes, which is a common practice in this industry.
