What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one transfer of an Aw franchise outlet to a new owner in 2024. This information is detailed in Table No. 2, which specifically tracks transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers involving the franchisor. The table provides data for the fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024.
For a prospective Aw franchisee, this data point offers some insight into the resale market for Aw franchises. A low number of transfers could indicate that franchisees are generally satisfied with their businesses and are not looking to sell. Alternatively, it could suggest that there is a limited market for resales, potentially making it more difficult to exit the franchise system if desired.
It is important to note that this figure only reflects transfers to new owners and does not include instances where the franchisor reacquired the outlet. A prospective franchisee should consider this information in conjunction with other data in Item 20, such as terminations and non-renewals, to get a comprehensive understanding of outlet turnover within the Aw system.
