What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 74 Brain Balance centers in operation at the end of 2022. This number reflects the balance between centers that were open at the beginning of the year, new centers opened during the year, and centers that closed during the year.
Specifically, the FDD indicates that Brain Balance had 82 centers open at the beginning of 2022 and opened 2 additional centers during that year. However, 10 centers closed during 2022, resulting in a total of 74 centers in operation at the end of the year.

Investigating the reasons for closures and the locations of new openings could be a valuable part of the due diligence process.
