According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 6 outlets in Pennsylvania that ceased operations for reasons other than terminations, non-renewals, or reacquisition by the franchisor during the 2023 fiscal year. This information is detailed in Item 20, which provides a system-wide outlet summary. This data is crucial for potential franchisees to understand the stability and potential risks associated with operating an Epcon Communities franchise in Pennsylvania.

Specifically, the table in Item 20, titled "Systemwide Outlet Summary for Fiscal Years 2022/2023/2024," outlines 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 each state. For Pennsylvania in 2023, the data indicates that 6 outlets ceased operations for reasons other than the typical categories of franchise exits.

This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it offers insight into the various factors that can lead to an Epcon Communities franchise ceasing operations. While terminations and non-renewals are common reasons, understanding the "other reasons" category can prompt potential franchisees to ask more specific questions during their due diligence. It is important to note that the FDD does not specify what constitutes "other reasons," so further inquiry with the franchisor may be warranted to fully understand the nature of these circumstances.
