What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of Chesters outlets that opened is not explicitly detailed. The provided data includes the number of outlets at the start and end of each year, as well as the net change, but not the specific number of new openings. The data covers the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.
While the table shows the net change in the number of Chesters franchised outlets, it does not break down the number of new outlets opened versus those that closed or were terminated. For example, in 2022, the net change was 5, meaning 5 more franchised locations were open at the end of the year compared to the beginning. In 2023, the net change was -79, and in 2024, the net change was -8.
To determine the year with the most Chesters outlets opened, a prospective franchisee should ask Chesters for clarification on the number of new outlets opened each year, as this information is not provided in the table. This information would provide a clearer picture of the brand's growth and expansion efforts.
