What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 transfers of Belocal outlets from franchisees to new owners in Arizona during 2023. This information is based on data collected up to the fiscal year end, which is June 30th.
This indicates the number of existing Belocal franchise locations in Arizona that changed ownership during that year. These transfers do not involve the franchisor directly reacquiring the locations, but rather a sale from one franchisee to another.
For a prospective franchisee, this data point can be useful in understanding the stability and desirability of Belocal franchises in Arizona. A higher number of transfers might suggest a more active market for resales, while a lower number could indicate longer-term ownership. It is important to investigate the reasons behind these transfers to assess whether they were due to positive factors like franchisee retirement or negative factors such as underperformance.
