CRUSHR Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2020), CRUSHR reported 14 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 4 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 25.0%— while 11 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +200.0% over 2018–2020.
| Status (FTC) | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 1 | 5 | 5 |
| Opened | 3 | 1 | 11 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 5 | 5 | 15 |
| Net change | +4 | 0 | +10 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 4 at start = 25.0%
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.

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