What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Chesters outlet opened in New Hampshire during 2022. This information is part of a larger table detailing the systemwide outlet summary for the years 2022 to 2024. The table provides a state-by-state breakdown of outlet activity, including the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this data offers insights into the brand's growth and stability in specific regions. The fact that one outlet opened in New Hampshire in 2022 suggests some level of expansion in that state. However, it's important to consider this figure in the context of other data points, such as closures or non-renewals, to get a complete picture of Chesters's performance in New Hampshire.
Reviewing the data for subsequent years (2023 and 2024) shows that no additional outlets opened in New Hampshire. In 2023 there were zero outlets opened, two non-renewals, and the number of outlets at the end of the year was one. In 2024 there were zero outlets opened, and the number of outlets at the end of the year remained at one. This could indicate a change in the brand's focus or challenges in maintaining or expanding its presence in that particular market. A potential franchisee should investigate the reasons behind these trends to assess the opportunities and risks associated with opening a Chesters franchise in New Hampshire.
Overall, while the opening of an outlet in 2022 is a positive sign, the subsequent lack of growth and the non-renewals suggest a need for further due diligence. A prospective franchisee should discuss these trends with Chesters to understand their plans for the New Hampshire market and to evaluate the potential for success in that region.
