What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Del Taco outlet operating in South Carolina at the start of 2022. However, by the end of 2022, that single outlet had ceased operations for other reasons, leaving zero Del Taco locations in the state.
This indicates a complete exit from the South Carolina market during that year. For a prospective franchisee, this information could signal potential challenges or market-specific issues that led to the closure. It would be prudent to investigate the reasons behind this closure to assess the viability of future Del Taco ventures in South Carolina.
It's important to note that as of the years 2023 and 2024, there were no Del Taco outlets operating in South Carolina. This suggests that Del Taco has not re-entered the South Carolina market since the closure in 2022. A potential franchisee should inquire about Del Taco's future plans for the South Carolina market and understand the factors that led to the previous closure.
