iSmash Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), iSmash reported 8 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 5 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 3 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +150.0% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 2 | 4 | 7 |
| Opened | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 4 | 7 | 10 |
| Net change | +2 | +3 | +3 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 5 at start = 0.0%
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 (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 iSmash's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
