Perspire Sauna Studio Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Perspire Sauna Studio reported 92 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 65 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.5%— while 28 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +86.3% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 30 | 51 | 71 |
| Opened | 21 | 22 | 28 |
| Transfers | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 51 | 71 | 95 |
| Net change | +21 | +20 | +24 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 65 at start = 1.5%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (2) 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.
