What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Publications' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of outlets operating in Arizona at the start of 2021 was one. The table provided does not show the number of outlets opened or terminated in Arizona during 2021, so it is impossible to determine the number of City Publications outlets operating in Arizona at the end of 2021 based solely on this information.
Item 20 includes a table presenting the 'Status of Franchised Outlets' for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. This table provides a state-by-state breakdown of the number of outlets at the start of each year, the number of outlets opened, and the number of terminations. For Arizona, the table shows the number of outlets at the start of 2021 and the start of 2022, 2023, and 2024, but not the end of those years.
To determine the number of City Publications outlets operating in Arizona at the end of 2021, a prospective franchisee should ask City Publications for clarification on outlet openings and terminations in Arizona during that year. This information is crucial for understanding the growth and stability of the franchise in that specific market.
