Does the FDD provide information about the reasons for Brain Balance outlet transfers in Table No. 2?

According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Table No. 2 includes data on the transfers of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers to the franchisor. However, the table itself does not specify the reasons behind these transfers. The table provides a summary of the number of transferees by state and year.

Specifically, the table shows that in Florida, there was one transfer in 2023 and one in 2024. In Georgia, there were no transfers in 2022 or 2023, but there were two transfers in 2024. The table does not include details on why these transfers occurred, such as financial difficulties, personal reasons, or other factors that may have led the franchisee to sell their Brain Balance center.

For a prospective Brain Balance franchisee, this means that while the FDD discloses the number of transfers, it does not provide insights into the health and performance of transferred centers or the common reasons for transfer. To gain a better understanding, a potential franchisee should consider speaking with current and former franchisees (if possible, given confidentiality clauses) and directly ask the franchisor about the typical reasons for franchise transfers within the Brain Balance system. Understanding these reasons can help a franchisee assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in a Brain Balance franchise.
