DRYMEDIC Item 20: outlets, exits & growth

In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), DRYMEDIC reported 93 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 66 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 4.5%, fiscal 2025), while 30 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +76.9% over 2023–2025.

How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 2 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 66 at start = 4.5%

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 (0) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) 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.
