What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, two outlets in Georgia ceased operations for other reasons during 2022. At the start of 2022, there were four Boulder Designs outlets in Georgia. During that year, one new outlet opened, one was non-renewed, and two ceased operations for other reasons, leaving two outlets at the end of the year.
'Ceased Operations - Other Reasons' typically refers to closures for reasons other than termination by the franchisor, non-renewal by either party, or reacquisition by the franchisor. These 'other reasons' could include the franchisee's decision to close due to financial difficulties, personal reasons, or other circumstances not explicitly covered in the standard categories.
For a prospective Boulder Designs franchisee, this data indicates the importance of understanding the local market conditions in Georgia and the factors that may contribute to a franchise's success or failure. Investigating the reasons behind these closures and assessing the support and resources Boulder Designs provides to help franchisees remain viable is essential.
