What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are conflicting data points regarding the number of outlets opened in South Carolina during 2025. One table indicates that 2 Belocal outlets were opened in South Carolina during 2025. However, another table indicates that no Belocal outlets were opened in South Carolina during 2025.
This discrepancy could be due to different reporting methods or the inclusion/exclusion of certain types of outlets in each table. It is important to note that the tables also provide data on outlets at the start and end of the year, terminations, non-renewals, reacquired outlets, and outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, which can all impact the net change in outlet numbers.
Prospective franchisees should seek clarification from Belocal on these discrepancies to understand the true number of new outlets opened in South Carolina during 2025 and the reasons for any differences in the reported data. Understanding these details is crucial for assessing the growth and stability of the Belocal franchise system in South Carolina.
