What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Azal Coffee's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2022, there were zero total Azal Coffee outlets. This includes both franchised and company-owned locations.
Specifically, the FDD provides a table summarizing systemwide outlet information. For 2022, the table indicates that the number of franchised outlets at the start of the year was zero, the number of company-owned outlets at the start of the year was zero, and the total number of outlets at the start of the year was zero.
This suggests that Azal Coffee was either a very new franchise system at that time, or that the company-owned stores had not yet begun operation. The FDD states that Azal Coffee did not begin offering franchises until July 2024.
