What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Noodles & Company's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 45 Noodles & Company outlets operating in Minnesota at the start of 2024. During 2024, one additional outlet was opened, and one closed, leaving 45 outlets at the end of the year.
This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it provides a snapshot of Noodles & Company's presence and activity in Minnesota. A stable number of outlets might suggest a mature market with consistent performance, but it's important to investigate further to understand the reasons behind the single opening and closing during the year. This data helps in assessing the brand's market penetration and potential for growth in the state.
It is important to note that this data reflects company-owned outlets. The FDD does not specify how many of these locations are franchised versus company-owned. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the breakdown of franchised versus company-owned locations to better understand the franchise landscape in Minnesota.
