What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Aw outlet operating in Indiana at the start of 2024. The provided table tracks the number of outlets in various states over the course of several years. For Indiana, the table shows the number of outlets at the start of 2022, 2023, and 2024, as well as any changes during those years.
Specifically, the table indicates that Aw had one outlet in Indiana at the beginning of 2022, one at the beginning of 2023, and one at the beginning of 2024. There were no outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, or ceased operations for other reasons during any of these years. This means the number of Aw locations in Indiana remained constant during this period.
For a prospective franchisee, this information provides insight into Aw's presence and stability in Indiana. The fact that the number of outlets has remained consistent may suggest a stable market, but it could also indicate limited growth opportunities. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to investigate the reasons behind the lack of growth and assess the market potential in Indiana before investing in an Aw franchise.
