What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero Best Brains outlets operating in Massachusetts at the start of 2024. The provided table in Item 20, which details the status of outlets by state, indicates that for the year 2024, the 'Outlets at Start of Year' column shows '0' for Massachusetts. This suggests that Best Brains had not yet established a presence in Massachusetts as of the beginning of 2024.
However, the FDD also indicates that Best Brains planned to expand into Massachusetts during 2024. While no outlets were open at the start of the year, the table shows that there was one franchise agreement signed in Massachusetts, but the outlet was not yet open as of December 31, 2024. This means a franchisee had committed to opening a Best Brains center, but it had not commenced operations by the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this information highlights that Massachusetts may be a relatively new market for Best Brains. While there was no operating Best Brains center at the beginning of 2024, the brand had plans to open one during the year. This could represent an opportunity for early market entry, but it also carries the risk associated with establishing a new brand in an area where it is not yet known.
