What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Crab N Spice's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Crab N Spice outlets opened in Arizona during 2022, according to one table. However, another table indicates that one outlet was opened in Arizona during 2022. This discrepancy could be due to different reporting methods or definitions used in each table.
Specifically, one table shows that there was one outlet in Arizona at the start of 2022, zero outlets opened, and zero terminations, non-renewals or re acquisitions by the franchisor. The franchisor ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in zero outlets at the end of the year.
Another table shows that there were zero outlets at the start of 2022, one outlet opened, zero outlets reacquired from franchisee, and zero outlets closed, resulting in one outlet at the end of the year.
A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Crab N Spice regarding these conflicting data points to understand the actual number of openings and closures in Arizona during 2022 and the reasons for any discrepancies.
