What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no City Wide franchises operating in Idaho at the start of 2023. The provided table in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and outlets at the end of the year for each state.
Specifically, for Idaho, the table shows that in 2022, there were zero outlets at the start of the year, zero outlets opened, and zero outlets at the end of the year. In 2023, there were still zero outlets at the start of the year, but one outlet was opened during the year, resulting in one outlet at the end of 2023. This indicates that City Wide began expanding into Idaho in 2023, but had no presence there at the beginning of that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this information highlights City Wide's growth trajectory and market penetration in specific states. The absence of any franchises in Idaho at the start of 2023, followed by the opening of one franchise during the year, suggests a recent expansion into that market. This could represent an opportunity for new franchisees to establish themselves in a relatively untapped area, but it also implies the potential challenges of building brand awareness and market share from scratch.
