What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ben Jerrys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Ben Jerrys outlet opened in the state of Georgia during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD outlines outlet information, including the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, reacquired franchises, ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
Specifically, for Georgia, the table shows that there was one outlet at the start of 2024 and one outlet at the end of 2024. The 'Outlets Opened' column indicates that one new Ben Jerrys location was opened in Georgia during that year. This information is valuable for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the brand's growth and presence in specific geographic areas.
It's important to note that while one outlet opened, the total number of outlets in Georgia remained the same, suggesting that another outlet may have closed or ceased operations for other reasons during 2024. Reviewing the 'Terminations', 'Non-Renewals', 'Reacquired by Franchisor' and 'Ceased Operations Other Reasons' columns provides a clearer picture of outlet changes during the year. Prospective franchisees should investigate further to understand the reasons behind any closures or changes in outlet numbers to assess the stability and performance of Ben Jerrys franchises in Georgia.
