What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 28 Beggars Pizza outlets operating at the end of 2023. This total is comprised of both franchised and affiliate-owned locations. Specifically, there were 21 franchised outlets and 7 affiliate-owned outlets.
It is important to note that there was no net change in the total number of Beggars Pizza outlets during 2023. The number of outlets remained constant at 28 from the beginning to the end of the year. This indicates that while the brand maintained its existing presence, it did not experience any growth in terms of new outlet openings during that period.
A prospective franchisee should consider this information in the context of the brand's overall growth strategy and market dynamics. While a stable number of outlets can indicate a mature and well-established brand, it is also important to understand the reasons behind the lack of growth and whether there are plans for future expansion. Understanding the performance and potential of existing locations is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
