What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two different tables that provide conflicting information regarding the number of outlets opened in Ohio during 2021. One table indicates that zero outlets were opened, while another indicates that one outlet was opened.
Specifically, one table shows that in Ohio during 2021, there were zero outlets opened. This same table shows that at the start of 2021, there were zero outlets, and at the end of the year, there were zero outlets.
However, another table indicates that in 2021, one Better Blend outlet was opened in Ohio. This table shows that there was one outlet at the start of 2021 and two outlets at the end of the year. This discrepancy could be due to a difference in how the data was tracked or categorized between the two tables. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Better Blend to understand the correct number of outlets opened and the reason for the conflicting data.
