According to Mr. Sandless's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no terminations of Mr. Sandless outlets in Alabama during the year 2024. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD outlines the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for each state.
Specifically, for Alabama in 2024, the table shows 2 outlets at the start of the year, 0 outlets opened, 0 terminations, 0 non-renewals, 1 outlet reacquired by Mr. Sandless, 0 outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and 1 outlet at the end of the year.

Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to these figures as they provide insight into the stability and performance of existing franchises. A high number of terminations could indicate issues with the franchise system, while a low number, as seen here, might suggest a more stable environment. It's also important to consider the reasons for any changes in outlet numbers, such as re acquisitions or non-renewals, to get a complete picture of franchise activity.
