What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one transfer of a Buildingstars outlet in Illinois during 2024. This information is based on the data provided in Table 2, which summarizes the transfer of outlets from franchisees to new owners, excluding transfers to the franchisor.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the relative stability and desirability of existing Buildingstars franchises in Illinois. A low number of transfers could mean that franchisees are generally successful and satisfied with their businesses, leading them to retain ownership. Conversely, a high number might suggest underlying issues within the franchise system or market conditions that prompt franchisees to sell.
It is important to note that this data only reflects transfers to new owners other than Buildingstars itself. Transfers back to the company are not included in this count, so the total number of transitions could be higher. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons behind any transfers to fully understand the health and attractiveness of the Buildingstars franchise in Illinois.
