What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Noodles & Company's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 6 Noodles & Company outlets open in Oregon at the start of 2022. The information is based on the data reported for the fiscal year.
This figure indicates the existing market presence of Noodles & Company in Oregon at that time. A prospective franchisee can use this information to assess the brand's established footprint and potential for further growth in the state. It's important to consider this number in conjunction with other factors, such as market demographics and competition, to evaluate the viability of opening a new Noodles & Company franchise in Oregon.
It is also important to note that by the end of 2024, the number of Noodles & Company outlets in Oregon was reported as zero. However, in 2024, 5 outlets were reacquired by the franchisor, and 1 was sold to a franchisee, bringing the total to 5. This demonstrates significant changes in the Oregon market over the three-year period, which a potential franchisee should investigate further to understand the reasons behind these fluctuations and their potential impact on a new franchise location.
