What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Epcon Communities' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one outlet in Georgia was terminated in 2022. This information is detailed in Item 20, which covers the status of franchised outlets. The table provides a year-by-year breakdown of outlet activity across various states.
Specifically, the table includes columns for 'Outlets at Start of Year', 'Outlets Opened', 'Terminations', 'Non-Renewals', 'Re-acquired by Franchisor', 'Ceased Operations Other Reasons', and 'Outlets at end of the Year'. For Georgia in 2022, the 'Terminations' column shows a value of 1, indicating that one Epcon Communities franchise agreement was terminated during that year.
This data is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of Epcon Communities franchises in specific geographic areas. A high number of terminations could signal potential issues with the franchise system or market conditions in that state. Conversely, a low number of terminations, as seen in Georgia for 2023 and 2024, might indicate a more stable franchise environment. Prospective franchisees should investigate the reasons behind terminations to assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in an Epcon Communities franchise.
