What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one franchise in Idaho was terminated in 2024. The table provided in Item 20 includes data on outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and outlets at the end of the year. This information is broken down by state and year.
Specifically, for Idaho in 2024, the table shows that there was one outlet at the start of the year, no outlets were opened, one termination occurred, there were no non-renewals, no outlets were reacquired by the franchisor, no outlets ceased operations for other reasons, and there were zero outlets at the end of the year. This indicates a net decrease of one franchise location in Idaho during 2024, due to the single termination.
Prospective franchisees should note that a termination indicates a more serious issue than a non-renewal, as it implies that the franchisee failed to meet the obligations outlined in the franchise agreement. While one termination in a state may not be alarming on its own, it would be wise for potential franchisees to inquire further about the reasons for the termination to better understand the risks and challenges of operating a Boulder Designs franchise in Idaho.
