BIG O TIRES franchise in Wyoming: what the public record shows

Franchisees of BIG O TIRES in Wyoming have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $614,648)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 13.4% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 6 franchised outlets in Wyoming (fiscal 2026) — about 1.02 per 100k residents.
