According to Cr3 American Exteriors's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the net change in the total number of outlets during 2022 was 0. At the start of 2022, there were 5 total outlets, and by the end of the year, the total remained at 5. This indicates that no new outlets were opened, and no outlets were closed during this period.
Specifically, all 5 outlets operating in 2022 were company-owned. There were no franchised outlets at the beginning or end of the year. This suggests that Cr3 American Exteriors was primarily operating through company-owned locations during this period, with no franchise locations yet established.
For a prospective franchisee, this information highlights that 2022 was a year of no net growth for Cr3 American Exteriors in terms of total outlets. The company maintained its existing number of company-owned locations. This could indicate a period of stability or a focus on internal operations before expanding through franchising, which began in 2023.
