FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2022–2024
PETWELLCLINIC Item 20: outlets, exits & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2024, from the 2024 FDD · 1+ year old), PETWELLCLINIC reported 19 franchised outlets at year end. 5 of 15 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 33.3%, fiscal 2024), while 10 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved 14 → 27 units over 2022–2024.
| Status (FTC) | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 6 | 14 | 21 |
| Opened | 7 | 7 | 10 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 5 |
| Outlets at end | 14 | 21 | 27 |
| Net change | +8 | +7 | +6 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 5 ceased (other) = 5 exits ÷ 15 at start = 33.3%
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 (1) 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.
