According to Auntie Annes' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 outlets operating in Alaska at the start of 2022.

This data is reported by state.
For a prospective franchisee, this information provides insight into the brand's presence and performance in specific geographic areas. The number of outlets operating at the start of the year can indicate the existing market saturation and brand recognition in a particular state. It also provides a baseline for evaluating changes in the number of outlets over time, which can reflect the brand's growth or decline in that area.
It's important to note that this data reflects past performance and may not be indicative of future results. Factors such as local market conditions, competition, and the franchisee's management skills can all impact the success of an Auntie Annes franchise. Reviewing trends over several years, as presented in the table, can offer a more comprehensive understanding of the brand's performance in a given state.
