What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one franchised outlet operating in Michigan at the end of 2025. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the changes in outlet numbers over the past three years. In 2025, one Belocal franchise opened in Michigan, and there were no terminations, non-renewals or re acquisitions by the franchisor. However, one outlet ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in one Belocal franchise operating in Michigan at the end of 2025.
It is important to note the history of Belocal franchises in Michigan. In 2023, there was one franchise operating in Michigan, but it ceased operations for other reasons, leaving zero franchises at the start of 2024. No franchises opened in 2024, so there were still zero franchises operating at the start of 2025. The opening of one franchise in 2025 brought the total back up to one, but the closure of another franchise meant that there was still only one franchise operating at the end of 2025.
Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to the 'Ceased Operations - Other Reasons' column in the table. This column indicates outlets that closed for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor. In Michigan, one Belocal franchise ceased operations for other reasons in both 2023 and 2025. This could be a sign of underlying issues with the Michigan market, such as high operating costs or low demand. Prospective franchisees should investigate these issues further before investing in a Belocal franchise in Michigan.
