According to Big Apple Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one outlet in Washington ceased operations for reasons other than terminations, non-renewals, or reacquisition by the franchisor during 2024. At the start of 2024, there was one Big Apple Bagels location in Washington. By the end of the year, that location had ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in zero outlets in the state.

This information is crucial for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and potential risks associated with operating a Big Apple Bagels franchise in Washington. Understanding the reasons behind closures can help franchisees assess the market conditions and operational challenges in that specific region.

It's important to note that 'ceased operations for other reasons' can encompass a variety of factors, such as failure to thrive, landlord-tenant disputes, or other unforeseen circumstances. While the FDD provides this data, it does not elaborate on the specific reasons for the closure, so further investigation may be warranted to fully understand the context.
