Sandbox VR Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Sandbox VR reported 10 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 3 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 7 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +30.3% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 24 | 33 | 36 |
| Opened | 1 | 1 | 7 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 33 | 36 | 43 |
| Net change | +9 | +3 | +7 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 3 at start = 0.0%
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.
