What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2023, there were zero franchised Azal Coffee outlets.
Table No. 3, "Status of Franchised Outlets For Years 2021 to 2023," shows the number of franchised outlets at the start of 2023 was zero. The table also indicates that at the start of 2021 and 2022, the number of franchised outlets was also zero. At the end of 2023, the number of franchised Azal Coffee outlets remained at zero.
This indicates that Azal Coffee was not actively franchising prior to 2024, which aligns with the statement that they did not begin offering franchises until July 2024. A potential franchisee should note that the brand is new to franchising, and therefore has a limited track record to evaluate.
