What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 183 Buildingstars outlets open in Missouri at the beginning of 2023. This number is based on the data collected and reported by Buildingstars for the year 2023. This figure represents the established presence of Buildingstars in Missouri at that time.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing market penetration of Buildingstars in Missouri. A higher number of existing outlets could mean greater brand recognition and potentially easier customer acquisition due to the established reputation. However, it could also mean more competition among franchisees within the state.
The FDD also indicates that during 2023, Buildingstars opened 26 new outlets in Missouri, while 13 ceased operations for other reasons. This resulted in a total of 196 outlets in Missouri by the end of 2023. Monitoring these changes in outlet numbers can provide insights into the growth and stability of the Buildingstars franchise within the state.
