GLO Tanning Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), GLO Tanning reported 103 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 82 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 21 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +66.2% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 50 | 65 | 87 |
| Opened | 15 | 29 | 21 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 65 | 87 | 108 |
| Net change | +15 | +22 | +21 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 82 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (4) 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 GLO Tanning's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
