According to Fat Shack's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, no Fat Shack franchises in Georgia ceased operations for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor between 2022 and 2024. The provided table in Item 20 details the status of franchised outlets, including those that ceased operations for 'other reasons.'
Specifically, for Georgia, the table shows the number of outlets at the start and end of each year from 2022 to 2024, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor and outlets that ceased operations for other reasons. For each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, the 'Ceased Operations- Other Reasons' column shows a '0', indicating that no Fat Shack franchises in Georgia closed for other reasons during this period.
This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of Fat Shack franchises in Georgia. The absence of closures for 'other reasons' may suggest a healthy franchise environment in the state. However, it is important to note that this data only covers the period from 2022 to 2024, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. A prospective franchisee should still conduct thorough due diligence, including speaking with current and former franchisees, to assess the risks and opportunities associated with investing in a Fat Shack franchise in Georgia.
