What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet operating in Arizona at the start of 2022. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD outlines the number of outlets at the start of each year, the number of outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, ceased operations, and the number of franchised outlets operating at year end.
For a prospective franchisee, this information indicates the existing market presence of Deka Lash in Arizona at that time. With only one outlet, the brand was still developing its footprint in the state. This could represent both an opportunity and a risk. The limited presence might mean less brand recognition but also less direct competition from other Deka Lash franchisees.
It is important to note that the table also shows that no additional outlets were opened in Arizona during 2022, and no outlets closed. The number of franchised outlets operating at the end of 2022 remained at one. This data provides a snapshot of the brand's growth trajectory (or lack thereof) in Arizona during that specific period.
Prospective franchisees should further investigate the performance of the existing Arizona location and the franchisor's plans for future development in the state to assess the potential for growth and success in that market.
