What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 34 Dq Treat outlets operating in California at the start of 2023. This information is based on the table that summarizes the status of direct-licensed outlets.
This figure is important for potential franchisees in California as it provides a snapshot of the brand's existing presence in the state. Knowing the number of existing outlets can help a franchisee assess market saturation and potential competition. It also gives an indication of Dq Treat's brand recognition and acceptance in California.
However, the table also shows that the number of outlets decreased from 37 in 2022 to 34 in 2023, and further to 33 in 2024. This trend might warrant further investigation to understand the reasons behind the closures, such as terminations or non-renewals, and whether these factors could impact a new franchisee.
