FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2023–2025
7 BREW Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), 7 BREW reported 578 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 297 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 0.0%, fiscal 2025), while 283 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +234.4% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 40 | 180 | 321 |
| Opened | 138 | 139 | 283 |
| Transfers | 1 | 14 | 28 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 1 | 3 | 2 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 180 | 321 | 602 |
| Net change | +140 | +141 | +281 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 297 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchised outlet left the system — including voluntary non-renewals and outlets that ceased for other reasons, which can include sales or absorption into another franchise. Transfers (28) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (2) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate”, and not every exit is a closure or a failure; Item 20 does not say why any outlet left. On a small starting base, a single exit moves this rate sharply.
