How many Coffee News outlets in Maryland were operating at the start of 2023?

According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 5 outlets operating in Maryland at the start of 2023. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD outlines 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 the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. This information is presented on a state-by-state basis.

For a prospective Coffee News franchisee, this data indicates the historical performance and stability of the franchise network in specific regions. The fact that Maryland maintained a consistent number of outlets (5) from 2022 through 2024 suggests a stable market presence. However, the absence of new openings during this period might warrant further investigation into market saturation or growth potential in Maryland.

It is important to note that while the table provides a snapshot of outlet activity, it does not offer insights into the financial performance or profitability of these outlets. A potential franchisee should seek additional information, such as average revenue per outlet, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the investment opportunity in Maryland. Furthermore, the franchisee should investigate the reasons for any terminations or closures in other states to assess potential risks and challenges associated with operating a Coffee News franchise.
