What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, in 2022, zero C12 Group franchises in Maryland ceased operations for reasons other than terminations, non-renewals, or reacquisition by the franchisor. The table provided in Item 20 of the C12 Group FDD details the status of franchised outlets from 2022 to 2024, showing the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, reacquired by the franchisor, ceased operation for other reasons, and outlets at the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the stability and performance of existing C12 Group franchises. A low number of closures for 'other reasons' could suggest that C12 Group franchises generally face few unforeseen challenges that force them to shut down. This information can be valuable in assessing the risks and potential rewards associated with investing in a C12 Group franchise.
It is important to note that while no franchises in Maryland ceased operation for 'other reasons' in 2022, one franchise was terminated. Reviewing the reasons for terminations and non-renewals can provide further insight into the factors that contribute to franchise success or failure within the C12 Group system. This information, combined with conversations with current and former franchisees, can help a potential franchisee make an informed decision.
