What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two different tables that provide conflicting information regarding the number of outlets opened in Minnesota during 2022. One table indicates that no Carbones Pizzeria outlets were opened in Minnesota during 2022. However, another table indicates that one Carbones Pizzeria outlet was opened in Minnesota during 2022.
It is important to note that the tables also differ in the number of outlets at the start of the year. One table indicates 2 outlets at the start of 2022, while the other indicates 28. The table that indicates 28 outlets at the start of the year seems to be a more comprehensive count of total franchised outlets, as the other table shows only 35 total franchised outlets across all states.
Given the discrepancies in the FDD, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Carbones Pizzeria regarding the correct number of outlets opened in Minnesota during 2022 and the total number of franchised locations. Understanding the growth and changes in outlet numbers is crucial for assessing the brand's performance and market penetration in specific regions.
