What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Petro Stopping Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2024, there were a total of 77 Petro Stopping Center outlets. This total comprises both franchised and company-owned locations. Specifically, there were 11 franchised Petro Stopping Center outlets and 66 company-owned Petro Stopping Center outlets.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the relative distribution between franchised and company-owned locations within the Petro Stopping Center system. The fact that the majority of locations are company-owned could suggest various factors, such as a preference for corporate control, greater profitability for the company, or strategic decisions related to market penetration.
It is important to note that while the total number of outlets increased by one from 2023 to 2024, the number of franchised locations remained the same. This suggests that the growth in 2024 came from the company-owned side of the business. A potential franchisee should inquire about the strategic plans for franchise expansion versus company-owned growth to understand the long-term vision for the franchise system.
