MassageLuxe Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), MassageLuxe reported 104 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 92 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.1%— while 13 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +57.6% over 2019–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 60 | 66 | 67 | 69 | 75 | 86 | 92 |
| Opened | 7 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 11 | 6 | 13 |
| Transfers | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 9 | 7 | 7 |
| Terminations | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 66 | 67 | 69 | 75 | 86 | 92 | 104 |
| Net change | +6 | +1 | +2 | +6 | +11 | +6 | +12 |
0 terminations + 1 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 92 at start = 1.1%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (7) 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.
