According to Big Apple Bagels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet located in Iowa at the end of 2024. The provided table tracks the number of outlets in each state over the past three years. This information is useful for prospective franchisees to understand the brand's presence and stability in specific geographic areas.

The table shows that in Iowa, the number of Big Apple Bagels outlets remained constant at one from 2022 through 2024. There were no openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, or other reasons for ceased operations during this period. This suggests a stable, albeit small, presence in the state.

For a potential franchisee, this data indicates that Iowa may not be a primary growth market for Big Apple Bagels, but the existing outlet has maintained operations. It would be prudent to investigate the performance and market conditions of the existing Iowa location to assess the potential for further expansion or investment in the state. Understanding why there has been no growth in Iowa over the past three years could be a key consideration for anyone looking to invest in a Big Apple Bagels franchise there.
