What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Benihana's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two Benihana outlets operating in Pennsylvania in 2022. The FDD provides a table outlining the number of outlets at the start and end of each year, as well as any changes that occurred during the year, such as openings, terminations, or re acquisitions. This information is broken down by state.
For a prospective franchisee, this data offers insight into Benihana's presence and stability in Pennsylvania. Seeing the number of outlets and any changes over the past few years can help assess the brand's performance and market penetration in the state. It's important to note that this number reflects the total number of Benihana restaurants, and does not differentiate between company-owned and franchised locations.
It is also important to note that the table does not specify whether these are traditional or non-traditional locations. A prospective franchisee may want to inquire about the performance of these specific locations and the overall market conditions in Pennsylvania to better understand the potential for success.
