What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dollar Rent A Car's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero outlets opened in Ohio during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the changes in the number of outlets for each state.
Specifically for Ohio, the table shows that there were 3 outlets at the start of 2024 and 3 outlets at the end of 2024. There were no outlets reacquired from a franchisee, no outlets closed, and no outlets sold to a franchisee during that year. This indicates that the number of Dollar Rent A Car locations remained constant in Ohio throughout 2024.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates market stability in Ohio. While no new locations opened, existing locations maintained their presence. This could suggest a stable customer base or a lack of available territories. It is important to note that while no new physical locations opened, five franchise agreements were signed, but the outlets were not opened. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons behind this to understand the market dynamics and potential challenges in opening new outlets in Ohio.
