What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brueggers Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was a total of 1 franchise transfer in 2024. This figure represents the number of existing Brueggers Bagels locations that were sold by one franchisee to another owner, not involving the franchisor directly in the sale.
For a prospective franchisee, a low number of transfers could indicate stability within the Brueggers Bagels franchise system. However, it could also mean that there are limited opportunities to acquire existing, operating locations, which can sometimes be a faster route to opening a business than building a new location from the ground up.
It's important to note that this transfer number only reflects transfers between franchisees. It does not include instances where Brueggers Bagels reacquired a location from a franchisee or where a location was sold to the franchisor. Reviewing the data for transfers over multiple years, as provided in the FDD, can give a more comprehensive picture of franchise ownership changes within the Brueggers Bagels system.
