What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Best Brains centers operating in Delaware at the start of 2024. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD includes data on 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 Delaware, the table shows that in 2022 there were 0 outlets at the start of the year, 0 outlets opened, and 0 outlets at the end of the year. The same pattern continues in 2023, with 0 outlets at the start and end of the year and no openings. In 2024, while 1 outlet opened, the starting number was still 0.
This indicates that while Best Brains was planning to expand into Delaware, as of the beginning of 2024, there were no operational centers in the state. A prospective franchisee should note this when considering opening a Best Brains franchise in Delaware, as they would be entering a new market with no existing presence.
