In which states did Best Brains have zero outlets at the start of 2022?

According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several states began 2022 with no operating Best Brains outlets. Specifically, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, and Massachusetts each had zero outlets at the start of 2022. This information is based on the table provided in Item 20 of the FDD, which details the number of outlets at the start of each year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.

For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the markets where Best Brains had not yet established a presence as of the beginning of 2022. While some of these states may have gained outlets in subsequent years, the absence of any centers at the start of 2022 could represent either an untapped market opportunity or areas where Best Brains has faced challenges in establishing its brand. It is important to note that this data reflects a specific point in time and may not represent the current distribution of Best Brains centers.

It is also worth noting that while Best Brains had zero outlets in these states at the start of 2022, some of these states did see new outlets open later. For example, Florida opened one outlet in 2023. Reviewing the subsequent years can show where Best Brains is expanding and where growth may be more challenging. A prospective franchisee should further investigate the reasons behind the initial lack of presence and any subsequent growth or continued absence to assess the market potential and competitive landscape in those states.
