What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no re acquisitions of Buona outlets from franchisees in 2022. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets reacquired from franchisees between 2022 and 2024.
Specifically, the table shows that in 2022, across all states (Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin), the number of outlets reacquired from franchisees was zero. This indicates that Buona did not take back any franchised locations during that year.
This information is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the stability of the franchise system. A high number of re acquisitions could indicate financial distress or other issues within the franchise network. In this case, the absence of re acquisitions in 2022 suggests a stable relationship between Buona and its franchisees.
