What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 3 franchised outlets reacquired by the franchisor in 2022. Looking at the state-by-state breakdown, one outlet in North Carolina and one in Texas were reacquired by Deka Lash. Additionally, two studios in South Carolina were acquired by a franchisee from the franchisor and reflected as Outlets Opened in this table.
It's important to note that the reacquisition of a franchise doesn't necessarily reflect the brand's health, but rather a change in ownership. These reacquired outlets may be resold to new franchisees or operated as company-owned locations.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the reasons for any reacquired locations. Understanding the circumstances behind these re acquisitions can provide valuable insight into the stability and support within the Deka Lash franchise system.
