ALPHAGRAPHICS, INC Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), ALPHAGRAPHICS, INC reported 229 franchised outlets at year end. 4 of 227 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.8%— while 6 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -1.3% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 237 | 232 | 227 |
| Opened | 5 | 2 | 6 |
| Transfers | 17 | 10 | 8 |
| Terminations | 6 | 6 | 4 |
| Non-renewals | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 232 | 227 | 229 |
| Net change | -5 | -5 | +2 |
4 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 4 exits ÷ 227 at start = 1.8%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (8) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
