What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Deer Solution's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero franchised outlets that ceased operations for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor between 2022 and 2024. The provided table in Item 20 details the status of outlets and franchisee information, specifically listing the number of outlets that ceased operations for other reasons.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a degree of stability within the Deer Solution franchise system. It suggests that franchisees are not closing down for unspecified negative reasons, which could include poor performance or disputes with the franchisor. This information can be reassuring, as it implies that the existing Deer Solution business model is sustainable.
However, it is important to note that this data does not provide a complete picture of franchisee success or satisfaction. A prospective franchisee should still investigate further by speaking with current and former franchisees to understand their experiences and the challenges they faced. Understanding the reasons behind terminations, non-renewals, and re acquisitions would also provide a more comprehensive view of outlet turnover.
