What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero franchised outlets open at the start of 2022. This information is detailed in Item 20, which provides an overview of the franchise's outlet network.
The table specifically tracks the number of franchised outlets at the beginning of the year, the number opened during the year, and the number at the end of the year. For 2022, the 'Outlets at the Start of the Year' figure for franchised locations is listed as 0. This suggests that Casiola had not yet begun franchising or that any previous franchised locations had closed prior to the start of 2022.
It's important to note that while there were no franchised locations, Casiola did have company-owned outlets. The FDD indicates one company-owned outlet at the start of 2022, which increased to two by the end of the year. This distinction between franchised and company-owned outlets is crucial for prospective franchisees to understand the growth strategy and operational structure of Casiola.
