Clean Your Dirty Face Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Clean Your Dirty Face reported 32 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 26 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 3.8%— while 7 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +39.1% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 15 | 23 | 27 |
| Opened | 9 | 4 | 7 |
| Transfers | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 23 | 27 | 32 |
| Net change | +8 | +4 | +5 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 26 at start = 3.8%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (1) 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.
