What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several states fit the criteria of having an outlet cease operations for 'other reasons' in 2023 while not opening any new outlets during that same year. These states include Colorado with 2 closures and 0 openings, Connecticut with 1 closure and 0 openings, Georgia with 2 closures and 0 openings, Kansas with 1 closure and 0 openings, Michigan with 1 closure and 0 openings, Missouri with 1 closure and 0 openings, Nebraska with 2 closures and 0 openings, New Jersey with 1 closure and 1 opening, North Dakota with 0 closures and 0 openings, Ohio with 1 closure and 3 openings, Pennsylvania with 2 closures and 0 openings.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is crucial as it indicates potential market instability or challenges within those specific states. The reasons for these closures, classified as 'other reasons,' are not specified in the table, but could range from economic factors to site-specific issues. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to investigate the specific reasons for these closures to better assess the risks and opportunities in these markets.
It's important to note that while some states experienced closures without new openings, others like New Jersey and Ohio had both closures and openings, suggesting a more dynamic market situation. The data from 2024 and 2025 can provide further insights into whether these trends are ongoing or isolated to 2023. Prospective franchisees should also consider the overall number of outlets in each state, as a single closure in a state with few outlets may have a different impact than multiple closures in a state with many outlets.
