What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the four territories acquired by Brightstar and its affiliates in 2024 began the year as franchised agencies. Two were acquired in February 2024, and the other two in April 2024.
Brightstar Care indicates that the performance of these acquired agencies did not materially change between the acquisition date and the end of the year. This suggests that the transition from franchisee-owned to affiliate-owned did not significantly impact their financial or operational results during that period.
This information is presented in Item 19 to provide prospective franchisees with a comprehensive view of system performance, both with and without the inclusion of these acquired agencies. By understanding the initial status and subsequent performance of these territories, potential franchisees can gain a better understanding of the overall health and stability of the Brightstar Care franchise system.
