    Locations counted: not stated in the reviewed record

    Who is counted
    Subset of traditional Häagen-Dazs Shops that commenced operation on or before January 1, 2024 and were still operating as of December 31, 2024.
    Excluded
    Excludes 30 of 207 end-period Shops: 8 traditional Shops first operating after January 1, 2024; 2 seasonal Shops; 5 cart satellites; 11 management-leveraged traditional Shops; 3 Hospitality Shops; and 1 food truck satellite.

    Historical 2024 top-line sales; POS cash-register data where received, otherwise franchisee-reported sales; sales exclude sales tax and do not reflect expenses.

    Outlet Changes — Item 20

    How has the outlet count changed?

    Systemwide, as labeled in the FDD · counts as of 2024 year-end of each year.

    2025 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 64

    Net −1 outlets, 2022–2024

    0208202220920232072024+1−2

    Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero, so the line looks nearly flat; the labels between the dots show each year's change. Openings and closures for 2024 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.

    Questions to investigate

    Prompts based on what this brand's reviewed disclosures do and don't show — not conclusions. Join free as a member to save questions to your research.

    For the franchisor

    • Which line items in the 2025 Item 7 estimate ($14,500 – $567,768) vary most by market, and why?

    • Which initial fee option would apply to my situation, and what conditions or discounts affect it?

    • Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?

    • Reported units decreased from 209 to 207 in 2024. What drove the change?

    • Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?

    For current and former owners

    • How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?

    • How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?

    • How do your results compare with the Item 19 figures, and what explains the difference?

    • What support from the franchisor has been most and least useful?

    For your advisors

    • Ask a franchise attorney to review the territory, renewal, transfer and termination terms.

    • Ask an accountant to build a cash-flow plan using your own assumptions, not the franchisor's.
