What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2022, there were a total of 7 Aw outlets. This total is comprised of both franchised and affiliate-owned locations. Specifically, there were 5 franchised outlets and 2 affiliate-owned outlets.
It is important to note that these figures represent the total number of Aw outlets system-wide, encompassing all locations operating under the Aw brand, as reported in Item 20 of the FDD.

Understanding the historical data on outlet numbers can help a prospective franchisee assess the growth and stability of the Aw franchise system. While the total number of outlets remained consistent throughout 2022, changes in subsequent years, such as the decrease in franchised outlets in 2024, may warrant further investigation to understand the factors influencing these fluctuations.
