| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 243 | 330 | 377 |
| Opened | 90 | 47 | 36 |
| Transfers | 31 | 99 | 67 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 330 | 377 | 413 |
| Net change | +87 | +47 | +36 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 377 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (67) 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.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing Stretch Zone's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
