What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no franchised Bigfoot Forestry outlets operating in South Carolina at the end of 2022. The FDD provides a system-wide outlet summary in Table 1, which shows that for the year 2022, there were zero franchised outlets.
Table 3 of Item 20 provides a detailed breakdown of outlet activity by state. In South Carolina, at the start of 2022, there were zero outlets. Throughout 2022, no outlets were opened, terminated, non-renewed, reacquired by the franchisor, or ceased operations for other reasons. Therefore, the number of outlets at the end of 2022 remained at zero.
However, Table 4 indicates that there was one company-owned Bigfoot Forestry outlet operating in South Carolina at the end of 2022. This means that while there were no franchised locations, Bigfoot Forestry did have a corporate presence in the state during that time. A prospective franchisee should consider the presence and performance of this company-owned outlet when evaluating the market potential in South Carolina.
