What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Goldfish Swim School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 6 Goldfish Swim School outlets operating in Maryland at the start of 2023. This indicates the existing presence of the franchise in the state.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that the Goldfish Swim School brand already has some recognition and market penetration in Maryland. However, it also suggests that prime locations may already be taken, and the franchisee will need to differentiate their outlet through excellent service and community engagement.
The FDD also indicates that no outlets closed, terminated, or were reacquired by the franchisor in Maryland during 2023. This could be a positive sign of stability and success within the existing franchise network in the state. One additional outlet was planned for Maryland in the next fiscal year.
