What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 35 franchised outlets at the start of 2022. The FDD provides a table summarizing outlet information, including the number of franchised, company-owned, and total outlets at the beginning and end of each year from 2022 to 2024.
Specifically, for franchised outlets, the number remained constant at 35 throughout 2022. However, in 2023, the number of franchised outlets decreased by one, resulting in 34 outlets by the end of the year. This decline continued into 2024, with a further decrease of two outlets, leaving 32 franchised locations at the close of that year.
This data indicates a slight contraction in the number of franchised Carbones Pizzeria locations over the three-year period. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the reasons for these closures and the overall health and performance of existing franchise locations to better understand the potential risks and opportunities associated with investing in a Carbones Pizzeria franchise.
