What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of outlets experienced a net decrease of 2 during 2024. At the start of 2024, there were 36 total outlets, which decreased to 34 by the end of the year. This includes both franchised and company-owned locations.
Specifically, the number of franchised Carbones Pizzeria locations decreased by 2 in 2024, going from 34 at the beginning of the year to 32 at the end. The number of company-owned locations remained constant at 2 throughout the year. This indicates that the overall decrease in outlets is attributable to changes within the franchised locations rather than the company-owned ones.
Potential franchisees should note this recent contraction in the number of Carbones Pizzeria locations. While not necessarily indicative of a long-term trend, it may warrant further investigation into the reasons behind the closures or non-renewals of these franchised locations. Understanding the factors that contributed to this net decrease can help a prospective franchisee assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in a Carbones Pizzeria franchise.
