What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are two tables that provide information on the number of outlets. One table, titled 'Table 1 Our Systemwide Outlet Summary For years 2022 to 2024,' indicates that the total number of Buildingstars outlets experienced a net increase of 131 locations during 2024. Specifically, the total number of outlets started the year at 1,134 and ended the year at 1,265. This table includes both company-owned and franchised units, but excludes franchisees of Buildingstars International, Inc.'s master franchisees.
Another table, 'Table 6 Systemwide Outlet Summary For years 2022 to 2024,' provides combined information from Buildingstars and all of Buildingstars International's master franchisees. This table shows that the total number of outlets experienced a net increase of 120 locations during 2024. The number of outlets started the year at 1,073 and ended the year at 1,193.
Prospective franchisees should pay close attention to which table they are referencing and understand the difference between the two. The first table provides a more narrow view of company-owned and franchised units, while the second table provides a more comprehensive view including master franchisees. Understanding the scope of each table is important for assessing the overall growth and health of the Buildingstars franchise system.
