What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Byrider franchise termination in Massachusetts during 2023. The table provided in Item 20 outlines the status of franchise outlets from 2021 to 2023, showing that the number of terminations for Massachusetts Byrider franchises was one in 2023. This means that one franchise location ceased operating under the Byrider brand due to termination of the franchise agreement.
For a prospective franchisee, this information is crucial for assessing the stability and success rate of Byrider franchises in specific regions. A higher number of terminations could indicate potential challenges or issues within the franchise system in that area. It is important to note that while there was one termination, there was also one outlet opened in Massachusetts during 2023, keeping the total number of outlets at the end of the year at two.
It's also worth noting that in addition to the one termination, one Byrider franchise was transferred in Massachusetts during 2023. Reviewing the list of franchisees who left the system, Trevor Wiggins (MA104 - Dartmouth) is listed as having transferred his Byrider franchise. This provides additional context to the changes in franchise ownership and operations within the state during that year. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons for terminations and transfers to better understand the risks and opportunities associated with owning a Byrider franchise in Massachusetts.
