What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to C12 Group's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet operating in California at the start of 2024. The provided table in Item 20 outlines the status of franchised outlets from 2022 to 2024, showing the number of outlets at the start of each year, how many opened, and how many closed.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a relatively stable presence for C12 Group in California. With only one outlet operating throughout the period, it suggests a limited but established market. This could mean less competition but also potentially less brand recognition compared to states with more C12 Group locations.
It's important to note that the table provides a snapshot of outlet activity, but doesn't offer deeper insights into the performance or market penetration of the California location. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons behind the lack of growth in California, and whether this represents an opportunity or a challenge.
