MOD Pizza Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2023), MOD Pizza reported 87 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 86 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.2%— while 2 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +9.1% over 2014–2023.
| Status (FTC) | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 14 | 31 | 92 | 489 | 506 | 531 |
| Opened | 1 | 11 | 20 | 6 | 4 | 2 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 31 | 92 | 187 | 506 | 531 | 552 |
| Net change | +17 | +61 | +95 | +17 | +25 | +21 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 86 at start = 1.2%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (0) 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.
