What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 58 Coffee News outlets operating in Ontario at the start of 2022. The document provides a table summarizing the Canadian outlet status for the years 2022-2024, detailing the number of outlets at the start of each 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.
In 2022, no new Coffee News outlets opened in Ontario, but 22 outlets ceased operations, resulting in 27 outlets at the end of the year. In 2023, 3 new outlets were opened and 2 terminations occurred, bringing the total to 28 outlets at the end of 2023. By 2024, there were 28 outlets at the start of the year, with 4 terminations and no new openings, resulting in 24 outlets at the end of 2024.
Prospective franchisees can use this information to understand the historical performance and stability of Coffee News franchises in Ontario. The significant number of outlets that ceased operations in 2022 may warrant further investigation to understand the reasons behind these closures and whether they represent a risk for new franchisees. It would be prudent to discuss these trends with the franchisor and current franchisees to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Ontario market.
