What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet open in Arkansas at the start of 2023. The FDD provides a table that lists the number of outlets at the start of the year for various states.
This information is useful for potential franchisees as it shows the existing presence of Epcon Communities in Arkansas. A franchisee can assess the market saturation and potential for growth in the state based on this data. It's important to note that the number of outlets reflects signed franchise agreements and market area agreements, not necessarily the total number of projects developed by franchisees.
It is also important to consider that the franchisees are assigned to a state based on the location of their projects, not the location of their principal business offices. This distinction is important for accurately interpreting the data in the table. The table also tracks the number of outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, and other changes in outlet status throughout the year, providing a comprehensive view of the franchise's performance in each state.
