What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crave Cookies's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero Crave Cookies outlets operating in Alabama at the start of 2024. The provided table in Item 20 outlines the number of outlets at the start of the year for various states.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that Crave Cookies was not yet established in Alabama at the beginning of 2024. This could represent an opportunity to be among the first to introduce the brand to the state.
However, it also means there is no existing operational history within the state to evaluate. The FDD 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, as well as the risks associated with being a new market for Crave Cookies.
