What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in 2022, there were 80 terminations in the United States and 0 terminations in Canada. This means a total of 80 Coffee News franchises were terminated across both countries during that year.
For a prospective franchisee, these figures highlight the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to franchise terminations. While the opening of new outlets suggests growth, the number of terminations indicates potential challenges within the franchise system. It would be prudent to investigate the reasons behind these terminations, which could range from financial difficulties to disagreements with the franchisor's policies.
It is important to note that the data provided only covers terminations. Other reasons for outlets ceasing operations, such as non-renewals or re acquisitions by the franchisor, are listed separately. A comprehensive understanding of outlet turnover would require examining all these categories in addition to terminations. Prospective franchisees should also note that Coffee News provides a list of former publishers in Exhibit E, but some may have signed agreements restricting their ability to speak openly about their experiences.
