What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Browns Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero franchise transfers in 2023. The provided table tracks the number of franchise transfers from 2022 to 2024. In both Illinois and across all locations, the number of transfers in 2023 was zero.
This indicates that no existing Browns Chicken franchisees sold their businesses to new owners during that year. For a prospective franchisee, a low number of transfers could be seen as a positive sign, suggesting that franchisees are generally satisfied with their businesses and are not looking to sell. However, it could also mean that it may be difficult to acquire an existing Browns Chicken franchise, as few are being put up for sale.
It is important to note that this data only reflects transfers to new owners other than the franchisor. If a franchisee sold their location back to Browns Chicken, this would not be counted as a transfer in this table. Prospective franchisees should consider this information in conjunction with other data in the FDD, such as terminations and non-renewals, to get a comprehensive picture of franchisee turnover.
