What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is conflicting information regarding the number of franchise transfers in Ohio during 2024. One table indicates that there were six transfers, while another table states there was only one. This discrepancy could be due to different reporting methods or the inclusion/exclusion of certain types of transfers in each table.
Specifically, one table, titled "Dairy Queen®/Limited Brazier®, DQ® Treat & DQ® Soft-Serve Only Direct-Licensed Outlets Transfer of Outlets from Franchisees to New Owners (other than the Franchisor) For Years 2022 to 2024," indicates that there were six transfers in Ohio during 2024. This table tracks transfers of direct-licensed outlets from existing franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers back to the franchisor.
However, a separate table shows only one transfer in Ohio during 2024. This discrepancy highlights the importance of clarifying with Dq Treat the specific criteria and scope of each table to understand the actual number of franchise transfers accurately. A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Dq Treat to reconcile these figures and gain a clear understanding of franchise transfer activity in Ohio.
