What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chatime's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Chatime outlets reacquired by the franchisor in Washington during 2022. The provided table outlines the status of franchise outlets from 2022 to 2024, showing that in 2022, Washington had one outlet at the start of the year, zero outlets opened, and zero outlets reacquired by Chatime.
Instead of being reacquired, one Chatime outlet in Washington ceased operations for other reasons in 2022, resulting in zero outlets at the end of the year. This indicates that Chatime did not take over any existing franchise locations in Washington during that year.
Prospective franchisees should note that while reacquisition can sometimes represent an opportunity to take over an existing location, in this case, the closure resulted in no remaining Chatime presence in Washington by the end of 2022. This data helps potential franchisees assess the stability and performance of Chatime franchises in specific regions.
