What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 14 Crave outlets open at the start of 2022. These were all franchised locations, as there were zero company-owned outlets at that time.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the size and composition of the Crave system at that point in time. It shows that Crave was primarily a franchise-based operation. The growth in subsequent years, as shown in the table, can give an indication of the brand's recent expansion.
It is important to note that while the table provides a general overview, more detailed information on outlet openings, closures, and changes on a state-by-state basis can also be found in the FDD. Reviewing both the overall numbers and the state-specific data can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the Crave franchise system's development and stability.
