What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, several states saw the opening of new franchised outlets during 2023. Specifically, California added one outlet, increasing from 5 to 6. Georgia added two outlets, increasing from 1 to 2. Illinois and Louisiana each added one outlet, growing from 1 to 2 in each state. Finally, Wisconsin also added one outlet, remaining at 2 after one closure.
For a prospective Gokhale Method franchisee, this information indicates where the brand is expanding and gaining traction. Opening an outlet in a state where the brand already has a presence could benefit from existing brand awareness. However, it's important to note that Massachusetts, Montana, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia saw a decrease in the number of outlets, which may be a cause for concern.
It is also important to note that the table specifically refers to the number of United States franchisees. In addition to the United States, Gokhale Method has franchisees in Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, France, Germany, India, New Zealand, Singapore, Slovenia, and the UK. This demonstrates that Gokhale Method has a global presence.
