What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 15 Coffee News outlets opened in the United States and 6 in Canada during 2023. This brings the total number of new Coffee News franchises opened in the United States and Canada to 21 in 2023.
Specifically, in the United States, the number of outlets increased from 216 at the start of 2023 to 191 by the end of the year. This decrease is due to terminations and ceased operations, despite the opening of 9 new outlets. In Canada, the number of outlets increased from 139 at the start of 2023 to 142 by the end of the year. This net increase is due to the opening of 6 new outlets, offset slightly by terminations.
For a prospective franchisee, these figures provide insight into the growth and stability of the Coffee News franchise system. While new outlets are opening, closures and terminations also occur, which is typical in franchising. Investigating the reasons behind terminations and ceased operations could be a crucial part of due diligence. It is also important to note that the data from the table includes both franchise and company-owned locations.
It is important to note the asterisk next to the 'Ceased Operations' column in the United States data, which indicates an area adjustment or correction in franchise unit number. This suggests that some changes in outlet numbers may not be due to closures but rather to administrative adjustments. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Coffee News regarding the reasons for these adjustments to fully understand the dynamics of outlet numbers.
