FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2015–2017
BRICKS AND MINIFIGS Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2017), BRICKS AND MINIFIGS reported 34 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 19 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 15 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +150.0% over 2015–2017.
| Status (FTC) | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 11 | 14 | 21 |
| Opened | 5 | 6 | 15 |
| Transfers | 1 | 2 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 14 | 21 | 35 |
| Net change | +3 | +7 | +14 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 19 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (0) 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.
