What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chatime's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Guam (GU) had the most outlets at the start of 2022 with a total of 5 locations. Other states with multiple locations include California (CA) and Maryland (MD), each having 3 locations at the start of 2022. All other states listed had one or zero locations at the start of 2022.
It is important to note that the Guam outlets were added to the USA territory rights of Chatime Franchise LLC in 2024. These outlets previously operated under agreements with Lakaffa International Ltd., an affiliate. This detail provides context for the distribution of Chatime locations and the evolution of its franchise network.
For a prospective franchisee, this information highlights the varying levels of Chatime's market penetration across different states. While Guam had the highest number of outlets at the beginning of 2022, other states like California and Maryland also represent established markets.
