| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 26 | 27 | 25 |
| Opened | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Transfers | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 27 | 25 | 23 |
| Net change | +1 | -2 | -2 |
0 terminations + 1 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 2 exits ÷ 21 at start = 9.5%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (0) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (1) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
