What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the net change in the number of franchised outlets during 2023 was an increase of one location. At the start of 2023, there were four franchised outlets, and by the end of the year, this number had increased to five. This indicates a modest expansion of the franchise network during that year.
It's important to note that these figures reflect the net change, meaning they account for any openings, closures, or transfers of franchised locations. The FDD provides further details on outlet activity by state, showing that Louisiana opened one Camp Margaritaville location in 2023, while Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas remained the same.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these historical growth trends when evaluating the Camp Margaritaville franchise opportunity. While past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, it can provide valuable insights into the brand's expansion strategy and the overall health of the franchise system.
