What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are conflicting data points regarding the number of Belocal outlets that opened in Illinois during 2025. One table indicates that zero Belocal outlets opened in Illinois during 2025. However, another table indicates that one Belocal outlet opened in Illinois during 2025, while a third table indicates that three Belocal outlets opened in Illinois during 2025.
These discrepancies could be due to differing reporting methods or franchise models included in each table. It is important to note that one table tracks 'Outlets Reacquired from Franchisee' and 'Outlets Closed' while another tracks 'Terminations', 'Non-Renewals', 'Reacquired by Franchisor' and 'Ceased Operations - Other Reasons'. These differences in categories could account for the different numbers of outlets reported.
A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Belocal regarding these discrepancies to understand the actual number of new outlets and the reasons for any closures or re acquisitions in Illinois. Understanding these details is crucial for assessing the market and potential growth opportunities in the state.
