What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chick Fil A's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Chick Fil A restaurant in Idaho was reacquired by the franchisor during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 outlines the status of franchise outlets from 2022 to 2024, showing the number of outlets at the start and end of each year, as well as changes due to openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, and other reasons for ceasing operations.
For a prospective franchisee, this information indicates the dynamics of Chick Fil A restaurant ownership and operation within Idaho. The reacquisition of a restaurant could be due to various factors, such as the operator voluntarily terminating the Franchise Agreement, the agreement being terminated by Chick Fil A, or mutual consent. It is important to note that 'Outlets Reacquired from Franchisees' includes all instances where a Chick-fil-A Restaurant is transferred from an Operator to Chick-fil-A for any reason.
This data point provides insight into the stability and changes within the Chick Fil A franchise system in Idaho. While only one restaurant was reacquired in 2024, understanding the reasons behind such re acquisitions can be crucial for potential franchisees. It would be prudent for a prospective franchisee to inquire about the specific reasons for re acquisitions in their target state to better assess the risks and opportunities associated with operating a Chick Fil A franchise.
