TECHY Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), TECHY reported 151 franchised outlets at year end. 6 of 93 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 6.5%— while 64 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +121.4% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 56 | 70 | 96 |
| Opened | 37 | 48 | 64 |
| Transfers | 2 | 0 | 9 |
| Terminations | 9 | 9 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 10 | 9 | 6 |
| Outlets at end | 70 | 96 | 155 |
| Net change | +14 | +26 | +59 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 6 ceased (other) = 6 exits ÷ 93 at start = 6.5%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (9) 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 TECHY's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
