What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the net change in the number of total Bath Tune Up outlets during 2022 was an increase of 16. This is calculated by comparing the number of outlets at the start of the year (25) to the number of outlets at the end of the year (41).
Specifically, these figures refer to franchised outlets. The FDD indicates that Bath Tune Up had 25 franchised outlets at the beginning of 2022 and ended the year with 41 franchised outlets. There were no company-owned Bath Tune Up outlets during this period, so the total net change reflects only the change in franchised locations.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a period of growth for Bath Tune Up. It's important to note that past performance does not guarantee future results, but a positive net change in outlets can be seen as a sign of a healthy and expanding franchise system. Franchisees should investigate further to understand the reasons behind this growth and whether it is sustainable.
It is also worth noting that one outlet opened and closed in 2022. This suggests that while the Bath Tune Up system experienced overall growth, there were also challenges and closures within the system. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the reasons for closures and what support Bath Tune Up provides to help franchisees succeed.
