What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Best Brains outlets operating in Massachusetts at the end of 2024. The provided table in Item 20 details the number of outlets per state, per year, including openings, terminations, and closures.
Specifically, for Massachusetts, the table shows the number of outlets at the start of 2024 was zero, with zero outlets opened, zero terminations, zero non-renewals, zero re acquisitions by the franchisor, and zero ceased operations for other reasons. Therefore, the number of Best Brains outlets at the end of 2024 remained at zero.
However, the FDD also lists a Best Brains location in North Attleborough, Massachusetts with a franchise agreement signed but the outlet not yet open as of December 31, 2024. This indicates that while there were no operational outlets, there was a franchisee preparing to open a location in Massachusetts.
