What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are conflicting reports regarding the number of company-owned outlets operating at the end of 2025. One table indicates that Belocal had 13 company-owned outlets at the end of 2025. However, another table shows that Belocal had only one company-owned outlet at the end of 2025.
These discrepancies could be due to different reporting methods, inclusion of temporary or non-traditional outlets, or even simple errors in data compilation. It is important to note that the FDD covers the fiscal year ending June 30, so the numbers reflect that date.
A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Belocal regarding these discrepancies to understand the true scope of company-owned operations. Understanding the performance and strategy of company-owned stores can provide valuable insights into the overall health and direction of the Belocal franchise system. Specifically, a franchisee should inquire about the reasons for the differing numbers and request detailed information about the locations, performance metrics, and operational strategies of both franchised and company-owned outlets.
