What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no outlets reacquired from franchisees in 2023. The provided table tracks outlet data for Michigan from 2021 to 2023. In 2023, there were zero outlets at the start of the year, zero outlets reacquired from a franchisee, and zero outlets at the end of the year.
This indicates that Azal Coffee did not reacquire any franchised locations during that period in Michigan. For a prospective franchisee, this could suggest stability in the franchise system, as there were no instances of the franchisor needing to take back control of an outlet.
However, it is important to note that this data is limited to the state of Michigan. A potential franchisee should inquire whether this trend is consistent across all regions where Azal Coffee operates, or plans to operate, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the franchise's history of reacquiring locations.
