What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Burros Fries's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2023, there were a total of 12 Burros Fries outlets. This number includes both franchised and company-owned locations. Specifically, there were 3 franchised outlets and 9 company-owned outlets at the beginning of 2023.
For a prospective franchisee, this information provides a snapshot of the brand's size and composition at that time. It shows the relative proportion of franchised versus company-owned stores, which can indicate the franchisor's strategy and focus. A higher number of company-owned stores might suggest a greater degree of control and investment by the franchisor in the brand's operations.
It is important to note that the number of outlets can change over time due to openings, closures, sales, and acquisitions. In 2023, the total number of Burros Fries outlets increased by one, from 12 to 13. This change consisted of an increase of one franchised location, while the number of company-owned locations remained the same. This data helps potential franchisees understand the growth and stability of the Burros Fries system.
