What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 32 franchised outlets open at the end of 2024.

The data is broken down by state, showing the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
Specifically, in Minnesota, there were 29 Carbones Pizzeria outlets at the start of 2024, with none opened, terminated, or reacquired. However, 2 ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in 27 outlets at the end of the year. In Wisconsin, there were 4 outlets at the start of 2024, with no changes, leaving 4 at the end of the year. Montana had 1 outlet throughout 2024. Summing the totals across these states, the total number of Carbones Pizzeria franchised outlets at the end of 2024 was 32.
It is important to note that these figures are as of October 31, 2024, so any changes in November and December of that year are not reflected. Additionally, the FDD also provides data on company-owned outlets, transfers of outlets, and projected openings, which can give a prospective franchisee a broader understanding of the Carbones Pizzeria system's dynamics and growth plans. Reviewing these figures in Item 20 can help potential franchisees understand the recent history of the Carbones Pizzeria franchise system.
