It's important to note that this data reflects only a single year, and the strategy may change in the future. A potential franchisee might want to inquire about Carbones Pizzeria's long-term plans for company-owned stores and whether there are any potential opportunities to acquire an existing corporate location in the future. Understanding the franchisor's approach to company-owned versus franchised locations can provide valuable insight into their overall business model and growth strategy.
