FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2023–2025
Premier Pool & Spas and Pinnacle Pools & Spas Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Premier Pool & Spas and Pinnacle Pools & Spas reported 125 franchised outlets at year end. 15 of 123 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 12.2%— while 17 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -0.8% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 127 | 127 | 124 |
| Opened | 22 | 17 | 17 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 22 | 19 | 15 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 127 | 124 | 126 |
| Net change | 0 | -3 | +2 |
15 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 15 exits ÷ 123 at start = 12.2%
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.
