What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Ben Jerrys's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 3 Ben Jerrys outlets operating in Virginia at the start of 2022. This information is based on the table that summarizes the number of Systemwide Satellite Scoop Shops for the years 2022 to 2024. The table provides a breakdown of outlet activity by state, including 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 a prospective franchisee, this data is useful for understanding the historical performance and presence of Ben Jerrys in Virginia. Knowing the number of outlets at the start of 2022 provides a baseline for evaluating the brand's growth and stability in the state. The fact that no outlets opened or closed in Virginia during 2022 indicates a stable market presence during that period.
It's important to note that this data pertains specifically to Systemwide Satellite Scoop Shops and may not include other types of Ben Jerrys franchise locations. Additionally, the FDD notes that the numbers provided are as of December 31 for each year, which means the "Outlets at Start of Year" figure reflects the number of outlets at the end of the previous year. A prospective franchisee should also consider other factors, such as market demographics, competition, and local economic conditions, when evaluating the potential for a Ben Jerrys franchise in Virginia.
