What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Crave Cookies Franchise Disclosure Document, Table 1, "Systemwide Outlet Summary For Years 2021 to 2024," includes data regarding company-owned outlets. The table provides a breakdown of the number of company-owned outlets at the start and end of each year, as well as the net change in outlets.
Specifically, for company-owned Crave Cookies locations, the table shows the number of outlets remained constant at one from 2021 through 2023. In 2024, the number of company-owned locations increased from one to two. This detailed historical data can be valuable for prospective franchisees to understand the growth and investment strategies of Crave Cookies regarding corporate-owned versus franchised locations.
Table 3, "Status of Franchised Outlets For Years 2021 to 2024," and Table 2, "Transfers of Outlets from Franchisees to New Owners (other than the Franchisor) For Years 2021 to 2024," do not contain information about company-owned stores. Table 5, "Projected Openings As Of December 31, 2025" also provides insight into the projected number of new company-owned outlets for the next fiscal year, broken down by state. For example, the table shows that there are zero projected new company-owned Crave Cookies outlets in Arizona, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
