What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 1 800 Packouts's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the predecessor to the current franchisor, 1800Packouts Franchise, LLC, started offering 1-800-PACKOUTS franchises in July 2015. The predecessor company, a Georgia limited liability company, was organized on October 3, 2014, and continued to offer franchises until it was succeeded through a merger connected to the Parent company's acquisition.
This means that while the current franchisor, 1-800-Packouts Holdco, LLC, was organized more recently on December 23, 2021, the franchise system itself has been in operation since July 2015 under its predecessor. Prospective franchisees should note that the experience and performance data from July 2015 until the restructuring would be attributed to the predecessor company.
It is also important to note that the current franchisor, 1-800-Packouts Holdco, LLC, began offering franchises since its inception in December 2021. This indicates a continuation of the franchise offering without interruption, despite the change in the legal entity acting as the franchisor. This distinction is important for understanding the history and evolution of the 1 800 Packouts franchise system.
