When did Casiola Orlando begin operations?

According to Casiola's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Casiola Orlando, a company-owned outlet servicing the Orlando Central Florida market, started its operations in 2014. This information is part of Item 19, which discusses the financial performance representations of the company-owned outlets. The FDD uses data from Casiola Orlando's operations within two Orlando Florida Operating Territories, referred to as "Orlando 1," and "Orlando 2", to report select financial data.

It is important to note that the financial information provided is not prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles and has not been audited. The data is based on historical financial data and should not be considered a forecast or projection of future financial performance for a franchisee. Casiola also operates a business in Miami, Florida ("Casiola Miami") and Aruba ("Casiola Aruba"), but the financial data for Casiola Aruba is not included in Item 19 because it operates outside the United States.

Prospective franchisees should consider that the performance of company-owned outlets may not be indicative of the performance of a franchised outlet. Factors such as management experience, local market conditions, and operating costs can vary significantly. Therefore, while the information about Casiola Orlando provides some insight into the business model, franchisees should conduct their own due diligence and not rely solely on this data when making their investment decision.
