What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Petro Stopping Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total net change in the number of outlets during 2024 was +1. This increase reflects a change from 76 outlets at the start of the year to 77 outlets at the end of the year.
Specifically, the number of franchised Petro Stopping Center locations remained constant at 11 throughout 2024. The growth in the total number of outlets is attributed to an increase in company-owned locations, which rose from 65 to 66 during the same period.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that while the number of franchised locations has remained stable, Petro Stopping Center is expanding its company-owned operations. This could suggest a strategic focus on corporate growth alongside franchising, which may influence the support and resources available to franchisees.
