What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Care Plus Medical Ucc's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 3 company-owned outlets open at the end of 2023. There were no franchised outlets open at that time. This information is derived from the systemwide outlet summary, which tracks the number of company-owned and franchised locations.
The FDD provides a detailed breakdown of outlet activity over the past three years, including the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, outlets reacquired from franchisees, outlets sold to franchisees, and the resulting number of outlets at the end of the year. For company-owned outlets, the number remained constant at 3 from 2021 through 2023. For franchised outlets, the number remained at 0 during the same period.
Prospective franchisees should note that Care Plus Medical Ucc's business model appears to rely primarily on company-owned outlets, with no franchised locations currently in operation. This may reflect a preference for direct control and management of operations, or it could indicate a relatively new or developing franchise program. Franchisees should inquire about the franchisor's plans for franchise expansion and the level of support and resources available to franchisees as the system grows.
