What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Crown Gold Exchange did not reacquire any outlets from franchisees during 2021. The provided tables in Item 20 of the FDD, which detail outlet information, show zero reacquired outlets in 2021.
Specifically, one table provides a system-wide outlet summary for 2021, indicating zero franchised outlets at the start and end of the year. Another table shows the status of company-owned outlets, with seven outlets at both the start and end of 2021 and zero net change. A third table explicitly tracks transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners (other than the franchisor) and reports zero transfers in 2021.
This data suggests that Crown Gold Exchange either did not have any franchised locations at all during 2021, or that none of the existing franchised locations were reacquired by the company during that year. A prospective franchisee should confirm with Crown Gold Exchange whether they plan to offer franchise opportunities in the future and what their strategy is for supporting franchisees.
