What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no franchise terminations in Minnesota between 2022 and 2024. The provided table, which outlines the status of franchised outlets, indicates zero terminations for each of the years 2022, 2023, and 2024 in Minnesota. This suggests that existing Carbones Pizzeria franchisees in Minnesota maintained their agreements during this period.
While there were no terminations, it is important to note that the number of Carbones Pizzeria outlets in Minnesota did fluctuate. The number of outlets at the start of 2022 was 28, increasing to 29 in 2023, remaining at 29 in 2024, and then decreasing to 27 by the end of 2024. These changes were due to outlets ceasing operations for other reasons, not terminations.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates stability in franchise agreements within Minnesota. However, it also highlights the importance of understanding the reasons why some outlets ceased operations, even if they were not formal terminations. Further investigation into these 'other reasons' for closure could provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of operating a Carbones Pizzeria franchise in Minnesota.
