What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave Cookies' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero outlets operating in Alabama at the start of 2023. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets at the start of each year, outlets opened, and outlets at the end of the year for each state.
Specifically, the Alabama row shows that for the year 2023, the 'Outlets at the Start of the Year' column indicates a value of 0. This means that as of January 1, 2023, there were no Crave Cookies locations open and operating in the state of Alabama.
Prospective franchisees should note that while there were no operating locations at the beginning of 2023, the document also indicates that there was one franchise agreement signed in Alabama, but the outlet had not yet opened. This suggests potential for growth in Alabama, but also highlights the importance of understanding the timeline for opening a new franchise location.
