What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the net change in the number of franchised outlets during 2023 was 0. The number of franchised Beggars Pizza outlets remained constant throughout 2023.
Specifically, Beggars Pizza started 2023 with 21 franchised outlets and ended the year with the same number. This indicates that no new franchised locations opened, and no existing locations closed or were terminated during that year.
This stability in the number of franchised outlets could be seen as a positive sign, suggesting a mature and stable franchise system. However, prospective franchisees may want to inquire about the reasons for the lack of growth in franchised locations during 2023 and what plans Beggars Pizza has for future expansion.
