FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2023–2025
EINSTEIN BROS. RESTAURANT Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), EINSTEIN BROS. RESTAURANT reported 69 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 63 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 0.0%, fiscal 2025), while 6 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +20.5% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 379 | 385 | 415 |
| Opened | 4 | 8 | 6 |
| Transfers | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 385 | 415 | 464 |
| Net change | +6 | +30 | +49 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 63 at start = 0.0%
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 (1) 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.
