What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 8 outlets open in Kansas at the start of 2024. The table provided in Item 20 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 the number of outlets at the end of the year for the fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 2024.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the historical growth and stability of Epcon Communities in Kansas. The fact that the number of outlets remained constant throughout 2024 suggests a stable market presence.
It is important to note that, for the purposes of Item 20 and Exhibit N, franchisees are assigned to a state based on the locations of their projects, not necessarily the location of their principal business offices. This could mean that the Kansas outlets are managed by franchisees located outside of Kansas. Additionally, the FDD states that an outlet is considered open upon a franchisee's signing of the Franchise Agreement and its corresponding Market Area Agreement.
