What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Auntie Annes's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two separate listings for Pennsylvania. One table indicates that at the start of 2022, there were 113 Auntie Annes outlets operating in Pennsylvania. However, a second table indicates that there were 9 Auntie Annes outlets operating in Pennsylvania at the start of 2022.
It is important for a prospective franchisee to understand why there are two separate listings for the same state and year. The tables may be referring to different types of Auntie Annes locations, such as traditional vs. non-traditional locations, or locations operating under different agreements.
A prospective franchisee should ask Auntie Annes for clarification on these figures to understand the total number of locations in Pennsylvania and the breakdown between different types of locations. This information is crucial for assessing market saturation and potential growth opportunities in the state.
