How many Expense Reduction Analysts outlets were opened in North Carolina during 2024?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the provided excerpts do not contain specific data regarding the number of Expense Reduction Analysts outlets opened in North Carolina during 2024. While Item 20 includes information on outlets and franchisee information, including a list of regional franchisees in North Carolina, it does not provide details on outlet openings or closures for specific states or years. Table 5 references projected openings as of December 31, 2024, but does not provide specific numbers for North Carolina.

Without this information, it is impossible to determine the growth or contraction of Expense Reduction Analysts in North Carolina during that year. A prospective franchisee would need this data to assess the brand's performance and market penetration in the state.

To get a clear picture, a potential franchisee should ask Expense Reduction Analysts directly for the number of new franchises opened in North Carolina during 2024. They should also inquire about the locations of these new franchises and any factors that contributed to their success or failure. This information would be crucial for making an informed investment decision.
