What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Benihana's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two Benihana outlets open in Arizona at the end of 2024. The FDD provides a detailed table outlining the number of outlets in each state over the past three years.
Specifically, the table shows that Arizona had two outlets at the start of 2022, 2023, and 2024. No outlets were opened, reacquired from franchisees, closed, or sold to franchisees in Arizona during this period. Therefore, the number of Benihana outlets in Arizona remained constant at two for each of these years.
It's important to note that this data does not include non-traditional locations such as stadiums or arenas. The FDD mentions that there is an agreement in place for a non-traditional Benihana location at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. However, this location is not included in the outlet count, as it operates under a concession license agreement with a limited menu.
