| Status (FTC) | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 10 | 13 | 15 | 15 | 14 | 14 |
| Opened | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Transfers | 1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 13 | 15 | 13 | 14 | 14 | 13 |
| Net change | +3 | +2 | -2 | -1 | 0 | -1 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 14 at start = 7.1%
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 (1) 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.
