What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Best Brains centers in Arizona that ceased operations for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor during the 2023 fiscal year.
The FDD provides a table outlining the status of franchise outlets from 2022 to 2024, detailing 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 Arizona in 2023, the table indicates that there were two outlets at the start of the year, no outlets opened, and zero entries for terminations, non-renewals, reacquired by franchisor, and ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in two outlets at the end of the year.
This data point is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of Best Brains franchises in Arizona. A history of closures for 'other reasons' might warrant further investigation into the specific challenges faced by franchisees in that region. The absence of such closures in 2023 could be interpreted positively, suggesting a stable franchise environment within Arizona.
