What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Dq Treat franchise in Texas was not renewed in 2024. This information is based on the table that summarizes the status of franchised outlets for the years 2022 to 2024. The table specifically tracks the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the recent history of franchise non-renewals in Texas. A non-renewal means that the franchise agreement between the franchisee and Dq Treat was not extended at the end of its term. This could be due to various reasons, such as the franchisee's decision not to continue, failure to meet performance standards, or other contractual issues.
It is important to note that the data provided is for direct-licensed outlets and does not include subfranchised outlets operating under agreements with territory operators. Additionally, the table does not specify the reasons for non-renewal, so a prospective franchisee should inquire further about the circumstances surrounding these non-renewals to better understand the potential risks and challenges of operating a Dq Treat franchise in Texas. Reviewing Exhibit J of the FDD, which lists former franchisees, may also provide additional insights.
