FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2021–2023
Federal Injury Centers Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2023, from the 2023 FDD · 2+ years old), Federal Injury Centers reported 56 franchised outlets at year end. 6 of 48 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 12.5%, fiscal 2023), while 14 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +75.0% over 2021–2023.
| Status (FTC) | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 4 | 32 | 49 |
| Opened | 29 | 20 | 14 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 3 | 6 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 32 | 49 | 56 |
| Net change | +28 | +17 | +7 |
6 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 6 exits ÷ 48 at start = 12.5%
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.
