What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Nothing Bundt Cakes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two separate tables showing the number of outlets in operation. One table indicates that there were 66 Nothing Bundt Cakes bakeries operating in Texas at the start of 2023. The other table indicates that there were 7 Nothing Bundt Cakes bakeries operating in Texas at the start of 2023.
It is important to note the differences in these tables. The first table shows the number of outlets at the start of the year, the number of 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. The second table shows the number of outlets at the start of the year, the number of outlets opened, the number of outlets reacquired from the franchisee, the number of outlets closed, the number of outlets sold to the franchisee, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
A prospective franchisee should clarify with Nothing Bundt Cakes the discrepancy in the number of outlets operating in Texas at the start of 2023, as the FDD presents conflicting information. Understanding the correct number and the reasons for any closures or changes is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
