What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is conflicting data regarding the number of outlets opened in 2024. One table provides a system-wide summary, while others offer a state-by-state breakdown, leading to discrepancies. It is important to note that these tables may include both franchised and company-owned outlets.
One table shows that in 2024, there were 60 Belocal outlets opened. This table also shows that there were 154 outlets at the start of the year, 2 outlets reacquired by the franchisor, 10 outlets sold to a franchisee, 69 outlets closed, resulting in 133 outlets at the end of the year.
Another table shows that in 2024, there was 1 Belocal outlet opened. This table also shows that there were 4 outlets at the start of the year, 0 terminations, 0 non-renewals, 0 outlets reacquired by the franchisor, 0 ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in 5 outlets at the end of the year.
Due to the discrepancies in the data, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Belocal regarding the total number of outlets opened in 2024 and the reasons for the differing figures presented in the FDD. Understanding the composition of these numbers (franchised vs. company-owned) and the factors contributing to outlet changes is crucial for making an informed investment decision.
