What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 15 new Coffee News outlets opened in 2023. This number reflects the total openings across the United States and Central America. While 15 new locations opened, the total number of terminations was 32, and 5 locations ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in a net decrease of 22 locations.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to both the opening and closing of Coffee News franchises. While new opportunities are available, the number of closures suggests potential challenges in maintaining a successful franchise. It would be prudent to investigate the reasons behind terminations and other operational issues to better prepare for the realities of running a Coffee News franchise.
It is also important to note that the number of outlets opened can vary significantly by state. For example, several states such as Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Maine did not have any new Coffee News locations open in 2023. Conversely, Arkansas and Indiana each had 3 new locations open in 2023, and Pennsylvania had 3 new locations open in 2023. This suggests that market conditions and growth opportunities can differ substantially depending on the specific geographic area.
