COBBLESTONE SUITES Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), COBBLESTONE SUITES reported 121 franchised outlets at year end. 6 of 121 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 5.0%— while 6 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +1.7% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 113 | 119 | 121 |
| Opened | 6 | 7 | 6 |
| Transfers | 5 | 7 | 10 |
| Terminations | 0 | 4 | 6 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 119 | 121 | 121 |
| Net change | +6 | +2 | 0 |
6 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 6 exits ÷ 121 at start = 5.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (10) 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.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing COBBLESTONE SUITES's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
