What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Christian Brothers Automotive Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 17 Christian Brothers Automotive outlets in Georgia at the end of 2023. At the start of 2023, there were 16 outlets, and one new outlet opened during the year. There were no terminations, non-renewals, re-acquisitions by the franchisor, or other reasons for ceased operations during that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the growth and stability of Christian Brothers Automotive in the Georgia market. The addition of one outlet suggests a moderate expansion rate. The absence of closures or transfers could be interpreted positively, suggesting operational stability and franchisee satisfaction within the state.
It's important to note that while the FDD provides historical data on outlet numbers, it does not guarantee future performance or growth rates. Factors such as local market conditions, competition, and the franchisee's operational capabilities can significantly impact the success of a Christian Brothers Automotive location. Therefore, while this data point offers a snapshot of past performance, prospective franchisees should conduct thorough due diligence and market research to assess the viability of a franchise in their specific area of interest.
Furthermore, the FDD also lists that there were 6 franchises committed in Georgia, but the outlet had not opened as of December 31, 2024, and that there are 3 projected new franchised outlets in the next fiscal year. This could mean that Christian Brothers Automotive anticipates further growth in the Georgia market.
