What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Carvel outlets reacquired by the franchisor in Missouri during 2022. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD outlines outlet information, including openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions, and closures.
Specifically, for Missouri in 2022, the table indicates that there were two outlets at the start of the year, zero outlets opened, one termination, zero non-renewals, zero re acquisitions by Carvel, and zero ceased operations for other reasons. This resulted in one outlet at the end of the year.
This data point is important for prospective franchisees to understand the stability and changes within the Carvel franchise system in specific states. Re acquisitions can sometimes indicate underperforming locations or strategic decisions by the franchisor, but in this case, Missouri had zero re acquisitions in 2022.
