PRECISION TUNE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), PRECISION TUNE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT reported 204 franchised outlets at year end. 6 of 209 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 2.9%— while 1 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -4.7% over 2021–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 233 | 237 | 234 | 224 | 231 |
| Opened | 4 | 6 | 0 | 8 | 1 |
| Transfers | 6 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 3 |
| Outlets at end | 235 | 234 | 224 | 231 | 224 |
| Net change | +2 | -3 | -10 | +7 | -7 |
0 terminations + 3 non-renewals + 3 ceased (other) = 6 exits ÷ 209 at start = 2.9%
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.
