LearningRx Training Camp Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2017), LearningRx Training Camp reported 70 franchised outlets at year end. 6 of 75 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 8.0%— while 1 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -10.1% over 2015–2017.
| Status (FTC) | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 85 | 79 | 76 |
| Opened | 13 | 5 | 1 |
| Transfers | 5 | 9 | 8 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 18 | 5 | 6 |
| Outlets at end | 79 | 76 | 71 |
| Net change | -6 | -3 | -5 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 6 ceased (other) = 6 exits ÷ 75 at start = 8.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (8) 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.
