What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Noodles & Company Franchise Disclosure Document, there were two Noodles & Company restaurants operating in Washington at the start of 2022. The information is based on the table that summarizes the status of franchise outlets for fiscal years 2022 to 2024. This table provides a state-by-state breakdown of outlet activity, including the number of outlets at the start of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this level of detail is valuable for assessing market saturation and growth potential in different regions. The table also shows outlet openings, terminations, non-renewals, re acquisitions by the franchisor, and other reasons for ceased operations. This historical data can help franchisees evaluate the stability and performance of the Noodles & Company brand in specific states.
It's important to note that while the table provides a snapshot of outlet activity, it does not offer insights into the financial performance of individual locations. Prospective franchisees should conduct their own due diligence, including reviewing Item 19 (Financial Performance Representations) of the FDD and speaking with existing franchisees, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks and rewards of investing in a Noodles & Company franchise.
