What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no non-renewals of Carvel outlets in Alabama during the year 2024. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD details outlet information by state and year, specifically addressing the number of outlets at the start and end of the year, as well as any changes due to openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, or other reasons for ceasing operations.
For Alabama, the table shows that in 2024, there were 0 outlets at the start of the year, 0 outlets opened, 0 terminations, 0 non-renewals, 0 re acquisitions by the franchisor, and 0 outlets that ceased operations for other reasons. Consequently, the number of outlets at the end of 2024 remained at 0. This indicates that no Carvel franchises in Alabama had their agreements expire and not be renewed during that year.
Prospective franchisees can use this information to understand the stability and renewal rates of Carvel franchises in specific states. A history of non-renewals could indicate potential issues with franchisee profitability or franchisor-franchisee relations, although in this case, the absence of non-renewals in Alabama suggests stability. However, it is important to note that Alabama had no Carvel locations during this period. Franchisees should further investigate the reasons behind outlet changes, such as terminations or non-renewals, to assess the overall health and attractiveness of a Carvel franchise in a particular area.
