According to Burneys Sweets More's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 12 franchised outlets operating at the start of 2023. This information is part of a table summarizing outlet data over several years.

This data is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the growth and stability of the Burneys Sweets More franchise system. Seeing a net increase in franchised locations suggests that the brand is expanding and that franchisees are finding success, although the growth is relatively modest. A prospective franchisee might want to investigate the reasons behind the rate of growth to understand the opportunities and challenges in different markets.
It is important to note that Burneys Sweets More also operates company-owned outlets, but the number of these outlets remained constant at one during the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. The FDD also mentions that the tables do not include express or commissary locations operated by a franchisee. This distinction is important because it clarifies the scope of the data presented and ensures that prospective franchisees have an accurate understanding of the franchise system's composition.
