A decrease in the number of outlets could be a warning sign for potential franchisees, while steady or increasing numbers may suggest a more stable market presence.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the reasons for any terminations, non-renewals, or other ceased operations to better understand the market dynamics in specific states. This information, combined with the contact details of current and former franchisees (as listed in Exhibit B of the FDD), can provide valuable insights for making an informed investment decision.
