Ivybrook Academy Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Ivybrook Academy reported 49 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 40 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 2.5%— while 10 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +47.1% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 27 | 34 | 41 |
| Opened | 8 | 8 | 10 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 5 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 34 | 41 | 50 |
| Net change | +7 | +7 | +9 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 40 at start = 2.5%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (5) 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 Ivybrook Academy's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
