What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was 1 company-owned Burros Fries outlet in Arizona at the start of 2022. This information is based on the table that details the status of company-owned outlets for the fiscal years ending 2021 through 2023.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the scale of Burros Fries's corporate operations in Arizona during that period. It shows the company had a limited corporate presence in the state at that time.
The table also shows that in 2021, there were no company-owned Burros Fries outlets at the start of the year, but one was opened, bringing the total to 1 at the end of 2021. In 2023, one additional company-owned outlet was opened, bringing the total to 2 at the end of 2023. This data provides insight into the growth of company-owned stores in Arizona over those three years.
Reviewing the number of company-owned stores can help potential franchisees assess the brand's commitment to and investment in the market. It can also be useful to compare the performance of company-owned stores versus franchised locations, if that data is available, to understand the different operational models within the Burros Fries system.
