What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of outlets sold to franchisees during 2023 was zero. This data is reflected in a table summarizing outlet activity across different states.
The table provides a breakdown of outlet transactions, including openings, closures, and sales to franchisees. For the year 2023, the 'Outlets Sold to Franchisee' column shows a value of 0 for all states and for the total, indicating that no existing Brain Balance centers were sold to franchisees during that year.
This information is valuable for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and transfer of ownership within the Brain Balance franchise system. A low number of sales to franchisees could suggest that existing owners are generally satisfied with their businesses or that the franchisor prefers other methods of expansion.
