What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2023, there were a total of 7 Aw outlets. This total comprises both franchised and affiliate-owned locations.
Specifically, the FDD indicates that there were 6 franchised outlets and 1 affiliate-owned outlet at the close of 2023. This figure is important for potential franchisees as it provides a snapshot of the brand's scale and market presence at that time.
It's worth noting that the total number of Aw outlets remained constant throughout 2023, with no net change in the number of locations. This could indicate a period of stability or a pause in expansion efforts during that year. Reviewing subsequent years' data would provide a clearer picture of Aw's growth trajectory.
