What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beard Papas's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero stores operating in Louisiana at the start of 2024. The provided table in Item 20 includes information about the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, and outlets at the end of the year for various states.
Specifically, for Louisiana in 2023, there was one outlet at the start of the year, zero outlets opened, one termination, and zero outlets operating at the end of the year. In 2024, there were zero outlets at the start of the year, zero outlets opened, and zero outlets operating at the end of the year.
This indicates that the Beard Papas location in Louisiana closed at some point during 2023, resulting in no stores operating in the state at the beginning of 2024. A prospective franchisee should consider the factors that led to the closure of the Louisiana store when evaluating the potential for success in that market.
