FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2015–2025
BRICKS AND MINFIGS Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), BRICKS AND MINFIGS reported 217 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 154 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 1.9%, fiscal 2025), while 67 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +156.3% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 11 | 14 | 21 | 55 | 87 | 160 |
| Opened | 5 | 6 | 15 | 35 | 75 | 67 |
| Transfers | 1 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 3 | 6 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 14 | 21 | 35 | 87 | 160 | 223 |
| Net change | +3 | +7 | +14 | +32 | +73 | +63 |
2 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 154 at start = 1.9%
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 (6) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (1) 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.
