What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Carvel outlets in Alabama that ceased operations for other reasons during the year 2024.
The provided table outlines the status of Carvel franchise outlets across various states, including Alabama, for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. The table specifically tracks 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.
For a prospective Carvel franchisee, this data indicates that in Alabama, there were no closures due to 'other reasons' which could include factors not covered by terminations, non-renewals or reacquisition. This could be interpreted positively, suggesting stability within the Alabama market, although the initial investment to open a Carvel in Alabama may be a barrier as there were zero stores in operation in Alabama during the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.
