What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Carvel outlets in Delaware that ceased operations for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details outlet information by state and year, including the number of outlets that ceased operations for 'other reasons'.
Specifically, for Delaware in 2024, the table shows that there were 2 outlets at the start of the year, no outlets opened, no terminations, no non-renewals, no re acquisitions by the franchisor, and zero outlets that ceased operations for other reasons. This resulted in 2 outlets at the end of the year.
This information is crucial for potential Carvel franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of existing Carvel locations. A high number of closures for 'other reasons' might indicate underlying issues with the franchise system or market conditions. In this case, the absence of such closures in Delaware for 2024 could be seen as a positive sign.
