How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

57 terminations + 31 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 88 exits ÷ 679 at start = 13.0%

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 (37) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (6) 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.

A broker is usually paid by the franchisor to place you. I'm paid only by you, never by a franchisor you're considering — and the job is pressure-testing EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS’ numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
