According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Best Brains outlets reacquired by the franchisor in Illinois during 2022. The provided table in Item 20 outlines the changes in outlet numbers over the past three years.
Specifically, for Illinois in 2022, the table shows the following: there were 11 outlets at the start of the year, 3 outlets opened, and zero terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, or outlets that ceased operations for other reasons.

This data point is important for potential franchisees to consider, as it provides insight into the stability and performance of existing Best Brains franchises. A high number of reacquired franchises could indicate potential issues with franchise profitability or franchisee support, while a low number, as is the case here, suggests a more stable franchise system.
