What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chatime's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no terminations of Chatime franchises in California during 2022. The FDD provides a table outlining the status of franchise outlets for the years 2022 to 2024, broken down by state.
Specifically, for California in 2022, the table indicates the following: there were 3 outlets at the start of the year, 0 outlets opened, 0 terminations, 0 non-renewals, 0 outlets reacquired by the franchisor, 2 ceased operations for other reasons, and 1 outlet at the end of the year. This means that while there were some closures for unspecified reasons, no Chatime franchises in California were terminated by Chatime during that year.
Prospective franchisees should note that while terminations are a specific type of closure, other factors can also lead to a franchise ceasing operations. It would be prudent to investigate the reasons behind the 'ceased operations – other reasons' to understand the potential risks and challenges of operating a Chatime franchise in California.
