What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave Cookies's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Crave Cookies outlet operating in Utah at the end of 2022. The provided table in Item 20 outlines the status of outlets by state and year, detailing openings, closures, and net changes. For Utah, the table shows that at the start of 2022 there was one outlet, no outlets were opened, none were reacquired, none were closed, and none were sold, resulting in one outlet at the end of the year.
This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it provides a historical view of Crave Cookies's presence and growth in specific states. The fact that Utah maintained a single outlet throughout 2022 could indicate a period of stability or potentially slower growth compared to other regions where new outlets were opened. Reviewing similar data for other states can help potential franchisees identify markets with higher growth rates or greater market saturation.
It's important to note that while the table provides a snapshot of outlet activity, it doesn't offer insights into the financial performance or operational challenges of those outlets. A prospective franchisee should combine this data with other information, such as average sales figures and franchisee testimonials, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Utah market and the overall Crave Cookies franchise system.
