What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two City Wide outlets operating in Kansas at the start of 2022. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for various states.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is useful for understanding the historical growth and stability of City Wide in specific geographic areas. Seeing the number of outlets in Kansas at the beginning and end of each year from 2022 to 2024 provides insight into the brand's presence and performance in that state.
Specifically, the table shows that Kansas had two outlets at the start of 2022, and that number remained consistent through 2024. This could indicate a stable market presence, but also potentially limited growth opportunities compared to other states where City Wide has expanded more rapidly. A potential franchisee should further investigate the reasons behind the lack of growth and assess the market potential in Kansas before investing.
