What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 7 outlet transfers in 2023. This number is derived from Table No. 2, which tracks transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers to the franchisor or its affiliates. The table provides a breakdown by state, showing the number of transfers in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and South Carolina.
Specifically, Georgia reported 0 transfers, North Carolina had 2, Ohio also had 2, and South Carolina saw 3 transfers during 2023. When these individual state numbers are added together, they sum up to the total of 7 transfers system-wide.
For a prospective Bath Tune Up franchisee, this data indicates the level of franchise resales within the system. A higher number of transfers could suggest a more active market for existing franchises, potentially offering an exit strategy for franchisees. However, it could also signal issues with franchisee profitability or satisfaction, prompting them to sell. Investigating the reasons behind these transfers would be a prudent step for anyone considering investing in a Bath Tune Up franchise.
It is important to note that this transfer data does not include outlets reacquired by Bath Tune Up itself, which would be a separate category to consider when evaluating the overall stability and health of the franchise system.
