According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 Chesters outlets in South Dakota that were not renewed in 2022. The table provided in Item 20 outlines the changes in outlet numbers for each state over the years 2022-2024.

For a prospective franchisee, this information is valuable in understanding the stability and turnover of Chesters franchises in specific states. A high number of non-renewals could indicate issues with the franchise model in that region, franchisee profitability, or franchisor-franchisee relations. Conversely, a low number of non-renewals suggests a stable and successful franchise network.
It's important to note that non-renewal is just one factor to consider when evaluating a franchise opportunity. Other factors, such as terminations and outlets ceasing operations for other reasons, also contribute to a comprehensive understanding of franchise performance. Additionally, the reasons behind non-renewals can vary, ranging from franchisee choice to franchisor decisions based on performance or strategic considerations. Therefore, further investigation and communication with the franchisor and existing franchisees are essential to gain a complete picture.
