Mobiledumps Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), Mobiledumps reported 26 franchised outlets at year end. 6 of 29 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 20.7%, fiscal 2025), while 2 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +4.0% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 8 | 25 | 29 |
| Opened | 17 | 6 | 2 |
| Transfers | 0 | 3 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 2 | 6 |
| Outlets at end | 25 | 29 | 26 |
| Net change | +17 | +4 | -3 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 6 ceased (other) = 6 exits ÷ 29 at start = 20.7%
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.
