What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2024, there were 168 Coffee News outlets operating in the United States. This is based on the data provided for the 'Total in United States and Central America' category. At the start of 2024, there were 191 outlets. During the year, 9 new outlets were opened, but 32 were terminated, resulting in the year-end total of 168.
It's important to note that this data specifically refers to the United States and Central America combined. The numbers reflect the net change in Coffee News outlets, taking into account new openings and terminations. Terminations can occur for a variety of reasons, including franchisees choosing not to renew their agreements or failing to meet the franchisor's standards.
Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to these trends. A decrease in the number of outlets could indicate challenges within the franchise system. It would be prudent to investigate the reasons behind the terminations and understand how Coffee News supports its franchisees to maintain and grow their businesses. Speaking with current and former franchisees, as mentioned in the FDD, can provide valuable insights, although some may have restrictions on what they can openly discuss.
