What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were varying numbers of franchised outlets operating at the start of 2022, depending on the geographic region considered. For Coffee News franchises within the United States and Central America, there were 293 outlets at the beginning of 2022. In Canada, there were 194 franchised Coffee News outlets at the start of 2022. When considering all outlets, the FDD indicates 487 total outlets at the start of 2022.
These figures provide a snapshot of the Coffee News franchise system's scale and distribution across different regions. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider which geographic area these numbers refer to, as the performance and market dynamics can vary significantly between the United States, Central America, and Canada. Understanding the number of outlets in each region can help a franchisee assess market saturation and growth potential.
It is important to note the distinction between 'Outlets at the Start of the Year' and 'Outlets at the End of the Year,' as this highlights the net change in the number of franchises during that year. For example, while there were 293 franchised Coffee News locations in the United States and Central America at the start of 2022, only 216 remained by the end of the year, indicating a net decrease of 77 franchises. This suggests potential challenges or market adjustments within the franchise system that prospective franchisees should investigate further.
Prospective franchisees should also inquire about the reasons for outlet terminations or closures to better understand the stability and support provided by Coffee News. Further due diligence, including speaking with current and former franchisees, is essential to assess the overall health and potential of a Coffee News franchise in their desired territory.
