What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 9 Coffee News outlets opened in the United States during 2023. This number is derived from a table that provides a breakdown of outlet statistics across the U.S. and Central America. The table also shows that there were 216 outlets at the start of 2023 and 191 at the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the rate of growth and contraction within the Coffee News franchise system. While 9 new outlets opened, 29 were terminated and 5 ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in a net decrease of 25 outlets. This trend could signal challenges in maintaining franchise operations or changes in the company's strategic focus.
It is important to note that these figures represent the combined totals for the United States and Central America. A more detailed breakdown of specific states, such as Arkansas and Pennsylvania, shows that some states experienced outlet openings while others did not. For example, Arkansas opened 3 outlets, and Pennsylvania opened 3 outlets in 2023. Reviewing state-specific data can provide a more granular understanding of Coffee News's performance in different markets.
Prospective franchisees should investigate further to understand the reasons behind terminations and closures, and how Coffee News supports its franchisees to ensure long-term success. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
