What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two tables that provide conflicting information regarding the net change in the total number of outlets in 2023. One table shows only Canadian outlets, while the other shows outlets in the United States and Central America.
Specifically, one table shows that the net change in total Coffee News outlets in Canada during 2023 was an increase of 3. This is calculated from 139 outlets at the start of the year and 142 at the end of the year.
However, another table shows that the net change in total Coffee News outlets in the United States and Central America during 2023 was a decrease of 25. This is calculated from 219 outlets at the start of the year and 194 at the end of the year. It is important to note the discrepancy between these two tables, and a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Coffee News regarding the total net change of outlets during this period.
