How many Best Brains outlets were operating in Connecticut at the start of 2023?

According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Best Brains centers operating in Connecticut at the beginning of 2023. The provided table in Item 20 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 each state.

Specifically, for Connecticut in 2023, the table indicates '0' outlets at the start of the year. This means that as of January 1, 2023, there were no active Best Brains franchise locations operating in the state. However, the table also shows that one Best Brains outlet opened in Connecticut during 2024, bringing the total to one by the end of that year.

For prospective franchisees, this information is crucial for understanding Best Brains' market presence and growth trajectory in specific regions. The absence of existing outlets in a state could represent an opportunity for new franchisees to establish the brand, but it could also indicate market challenges or a lack of brand recognition. It is important to further investigate the reasons behind these numbers to assess the potential for success in that market.
