| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |

| Outlets at start | 15 | 20 | 25 |

| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 20 | 25 | 32 |
| Net change | +5 | +5 | +7 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 20 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.
