Rock N Roll Sushi Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Rock N Roll Sushi reported 79 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 69 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 4.3%— while 13 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +21.5% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 61 | 65 | 72 |
| Opened | 6 | 9 | 13 |
| Transfers | 6 | 1 | 4 |
| Terminations | 1 | 0 | 2 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 65 | 72 | 79 |
| Net change | +4 | +7 | +7 |
2 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 69 at start = 4.3%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (4) 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.
