What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chatime's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Chatime outlets operating in Alabama at the start of 2022. The provided table tracks the status of franchise outlets from 2022 to 2024.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that Alabama may be a relatively new market for Chatime. It could represent an opportunity to establish the brand in the area. However, it also means there is no established customer base or brand recognition in Alabama.
It's worth noting that while there were no outlets at the beginning of 2022, the table also shows that there were still no outlets at the end of 2022. By 2024, one Chatime outlet opened in Alabama, bringing the total to one at the end of that year. This suggests slow growth in the state.
