What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 123 franchised outlets operating at the start of 2023. This number reflects the total number of franchised locations that were open and running as of January 1, 2023. This figure is part of a broader table that tracks the growth and changes within the Deka Lash franchise system over a three-year period.
Specifically, the table provides a year-by-year breakdown of franchised outlets, including the number at the start of each year, the number at the end of each year, and the net change in outlets during that year. For a prospective franchisee, this information offers a clear view of the brand's expansion and stability. It demonstrates the net growth of franchised locations, which can be an indicator of the franchise's overall health and appeal.
It is important to note that while the table provides a system-wide summary, more detailed information about outlet activity is available on a state-by-state basis. This includes the number of outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, reacquired outlets, and ceased operations within each state. Reviewing both the system-wide summary and the state-specific data can give a potential franchisee a comprehensive understanding of the Deka Lash franchise network's dynamics and performance in different markets.
