What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the number of Byrider outlets in Arkansas remained the same between the start of 2021 and the end of 2023. At the start of 2021, there were 5 Byrider outlets in Arkansas. By the end of 2021, this number increased to 7. However, by the end of 2022, the number decreased to 5, and it remained at 5 by the end of 2023.
Specifically, in 2021, two Byrider outlets opened in Arkansas, bringing the total from 5 to 7. In 2022, one outlet was terminated and another ceased operations for other reasons, reducing the total back to 5. There were no further changes in 2023, so the number of outlets remained at 5.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the volatility of the Byrider franchise network in Arkansas. While there was initial growth in 2021, closures in 2022 offset that growth, resulting in no net change over the three-year period. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons for the 2022 closures to assess the stability and potential risks of operating a Byrider franchise in Arkansas.
