What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ben Jerrys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Ben Jerrys outlet operating in Georgia at the start of 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD outlines the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for various states.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is useful for understanding the historical growth and stability of Ben Jerrys in specific geographic areas. Seeing that Georgia had one outlet consistently throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggests a stable but not rapidly expanding market presence.
It's important to note that while the data shows the number of outlets, it doesn't provide insights into the financial performance or specific locations of these outlets. A potential franchisee should further investigate the market conditions and brand recognition in Georgia to assess the viability of opening a Ben Jerrys franchise.
