What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company projects to open zero company-owned locations in the next fiscal year.
Table No. 5 provides a breakdown by state of projected openings as of December 31, 2024. This table lists both franchise locations for which an agreement has been signed but not yet opened, projected franchise openings, and projected company-owned openings.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that Brain Balance is focusing on expanding through franchising rather than opening company-owned locations. This could mean less direct competition from the franchisor, but it also means franchisees may not be able to rely on the franchisor's experience in operating locations when starting their own businesses.
