What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document does not state when DB Canada started offering Carls franchises in Canada. The document does mention that as of January 29, 2024, there were 20 franchised Carl's Jr. restaurants in Canada.
However, the FDD does provide information on when DB Canada began offering franchises for another brand, Baskin-Robbins. According to the document, DB Canada was formed in May 2006 and has offered and sold Baskin-Robbins franchises in Canada since January 1972.
To find out when DB Canada began offering Carls franchises, a prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor directly for this information. This detail could be important for understanding the brand's history and presence in the Canadian market.
