What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Craters & Freighters' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of outlets at the end of 2024 was 65. This number reflects a net increase of one outlet during the year. Specifically, this includes 65 franchised outlets, with no company-owned outlets.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a slight growth in the number of Craters & Freighters locations. The fact that all locations are franchised suggests that the company is focused on expanding through franchising rather than corporate ownership. This may mean that Craters & Freighters is committed to supporting its franchisees.
It is important to note that while there was a net increase of one franchise, this does not reveal the entire picture of outlet activity. The FDD provides further details on the number of outlets opened, reacquired, closed, and sold, which gives a more comprehensive view of the changes within the Craters & Freighters system.
