This information is part of the system-wide outlet summary covering the years 2022 to 2024. The data provides a historical overview of outlet activity, which can be useful for prospective franchisees to understand the brand's growth and stability.
Specifically, the table details the 'Outlets Opened' for each year, allowing potential franchisees to see the rate at which new locations are being established. For 2023, the 'Outlets Opened' column shows a total of 5 new franchised outlets. This number reflects the expansion of the City Publications network during that year.
Reviewing this data in conjunction with other factors, such as terminations and net changes in outlet numbers, can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the franchise's performance. While 5 new openings occurred in 2023, the net change in franchised outlets was -1, indicating that closures or other factors slightly offset the gains from new openings. This level of detail is important for making an informed investment decision.
