What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Auntie Annes's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of franchised outlets operating at the start of 2022 can be determined by examining the 'Outlets at Start of Year' column for the year 2022 in the provided tables. These tables list the number of shops open and operated by franchisees as of December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The data does not include shops that have signed franchise agreements but have not yet opened or shops whose agreements were terminated before opening. The tables provide a state-by-state breakdown of outlet counts. To calculate the total, we need to sum the 'Outlets at Start of Year' for 2022 across all listed states.
Based on the tables, the number of Auntie Annes franchised outlets at the start of 2022 per state is as follows: Hawaii (5), Idaho (3), Illinois (43), Indiana (22), Iowa (5), Kansas (5), Kentucky (13), Louisiana (14), Maryland (44), Maine (0), Massachusetts (16), Michigan (28), Minnesota (11), Oklahoma (5), Oregon (8), Pennsylvania (113), Rhode Island (4), South Carolina (16), South Dakota (1), Tennessee (21), and Texas (82).
Summing these figures, the total number of Auntie Annes franchised outlets operating at the start of 2022 was 504. This information is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides a snapshot of the brand's established presence and market saturation in various states. Reviewing these figures alongside other factors such as terminations and new openings can offer insights into the stability and growth trajectory of the franchise in specific regions.
