According to Buff City Soap's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Buff City Soap outlets reacquired by the franchisor in Arizona during 2023. The provided table outlines outlet data by state and year, including the number of outlets reacquired by Buff City Soap.
Specifically, for Arizona in 2023, the table indicates the number of outlets at the start of the year was zero, no outlets were opened, and the number of outlets reacquired by Buff City Soap was zero. This means that Buff City Soap did not take back any franchise locations in Arizona during that year.
Prospective franchisees can use this information to understand the stability and performance of existing Buff City Soap locations. A high number of reacquired locations might indicate struggling franchises, while a low number, as in this case for Arizona, could suggest a more stable market. However, it is important to consider that Arizona had zero stores at the start of the year.
