SNAPOLOGY Item 20: outlets, exits & growth

In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025, from the 2026 FDD), SNAPOLOGY reported 129 franchised outlets at year end. 5 of 120 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system (exit rate 4.2%, fiscal 2025), while 14 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +83.1% over 2021–2025.

How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 4 ceased (other) = 5 exits ÷ 120 at start = 4.2%

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 (8) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) 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.
