What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 3 outlet transfers in Texas during 2024. This information is detailed in Table No. 2, which specifically tracks transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers to the franchisor. The table provides data for the years 2022 through 2024.
For a prospective franchisee, this data point is relevant for understanding the stability and desirability of existing Boulder Designs franchises. A higher number of transfers could indicate a more active market for resales, but it could also signal potential issues with franchise profitability or franchisee satisfaction. Conversely, a low number of transfers might suggest stable, successful franchises, or it could mean there's limited opportunity to acquire an existing Boulder Designs business instead of starting from scratch.
It's important to note that this transfer data doesn't distinguish between voluntary sales by the franchisee and situations where Boulder Designs might have facilitated the transfer due to franchisee default or other issues. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons behind any transfers to get a clearer picture of the health and performance of Boulder Designs franchises in Texas. Further due diligence, including speaking with current and former franchisees, is advisable to fully understand the context of these transfers.
