What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hardees' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero Hardees restaurants opened in Ohio during 2023, according to one table. At the start of 2023, there were two Hardees restaurants, and at the end of the year, there were zero. The table also shows that two restaurants closed in 2023.
However, another table in the same Item 20 shows conflicting information. This table indicates that there was one Hardees restaurant in Ohio at the start of 2023 and one at the end of the year. This table indicates that zero restaurants closed and zero restaurants opened.
Due to the conflicting information presented in the 2025 FDD, it would be prudent for a prospective franchisee to seek clarification from Hardees regarding the correct number of restaurant openings and closures in Ohio for 2023. Understanding the market dynamics in specific states is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
