What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 3 transfers of direct-licensed outlets from franchisees to new owners in California during 2022. This data excludes transfers to the franchisor itself. This information is based on direct-licensed Dairy Queen/Limited Brazier, DQ Treat, and DQ soft-serve only outlets.
This transfer data is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the resale activity within the Dq Treat system. A higher number of transfers might indicate a more liquid market for existing franchises, potentially making it easier to sell a franchise in the future. However, it could also signal issues with franchise profitability or franchisee satisfaction if transfers are due to underperforming stores.
It is important to note that the data provided pertains specifically to direct-licensed outlets and does not include subfranchised locations. The FDD also states that states not listed in the provided tables had no activity of the kind described. Therefore, if a state is not listed, it had no transfers during the specified years. Prospective franchisees should consider this information in conjunction with other factors, such as the financial performance of transferred stores and the reasons for the transfers, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the franchise system's health and stability.
