What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are conflicting reports regarding the net change in the number of licensed outlets during 2023. One table indicates a net increase of 10 licensed outlets, while another table shows a net decrease of 3 licensed outlets.
Specifically, one table shows that the number of licensed Bw Premier Collection outlets started at 23 in 2023 and ended the year at 33, resulting in a net change of +10. However, a different table indicates that the number of licensed outlets began at 27 in 2023 and decreased to 24 by the end of the year, resulting in a net change of -3.
Given these discrepancies, a prospective Bw Premier Collection franchisee should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding the accurate number of licensed outlets and the reasons for the conflicting data. It is important to understand the true growth or decline of the franchise system to make an informed investment decision.
