FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2013–2015
Jan-Pro Cleaning Systems of Minneapolis Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2015, from the 2016 FDD · 9+ years old), Jan-Pro Cleaning Systems of Minneapolis reported 131 franchised outlets at year end. 24 of 130 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 18.5%, fiscal 2015), while 25 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -0.8% over 2013–2015.
| Status (FTC) | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 122 | 132 | 130 |
| Opened | 17 | 20 | 25 |
| Transfers | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 7 | 22 | 24 |
| Outlets at end | 132 | 130 | 131 |
| Net change | +10 | -2 | +1 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 24 ceased (other) = 24 exits ÷ 130 at start = 18.5%
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 (1) 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.
