What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Christian Brothers Automotive had 9 outlets in Oklahoma at the end of 2023. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets per state for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. In Oklahoma, there were 9 outlets at the start of 2023, and no additional outlets opened, terminated, non-renewed, reacquired by the franchisor, or ceased operations for other reasons during that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing market presence of Christian Brothers Automotive in Oklahoma. With 9 existing outlets, there may be established brand recognition and customer base. However, it also suggests that prime locations may already be taken, and the franchisee will need to assess the competitive landscape carefully.
It's important to note that the FDD also lists the number of "Franchise Committed But Outlet Not Opened" for Oklahoma as 3. This means that as of the end of 2024, there were three signed franchise agreements for locations in Oklahoma that had not yet opened. Additionally, the FDD projects one new franchised outlet in Oklahoma for the next fiscal year. This information can help a potential franchisee understand the growth trajectory and future saturation of the market in Oklahoma.
