What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 360 Painting's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet operating in Montana at the start of 2022. Throughout 2022, no additional outlets were opened, and no outlets were terminated, non-renewed, reacquired by the franchisor, or ceased operations for other reasons. As a result, the year concluded with one outlet still in operation in Montana.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a relatively small presence of 360 Painting in Montana during that period. The stability in outlet numbers suggests either a stable market or a lack of expansion efforts in that specific state.
It's important to note that while the number of outlets remained constant, this doesn't necessarily reflect the financial performance or success of the existing outlet. Further investigation into the performance metrics of the Montana outlet would be beneficial for any potential franchisee considering entering that market. Understanding the reasons behind the lack of growth, whether due to market saturation, limited demand, or strategic decisions by the franchisor, is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
