That 1 Painter Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), That 1 Painter reported 315 franchised outlets at year end. 28 of 271 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 10.3%— while 73 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +336.5% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 32 | 74 | 277 |
| Opened | 42 | 213 | 73 |
| Transfers | 9 | 9 | 52 |
| Terminations | 0 | 1 | 12 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 7 | 1 | 2 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 2 | 16 |
| Outlets at end | 74 | 277 | 323 |
| Net change | +42 | +203 | +46 |
12 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 16 ceased (other) = 28 exits ÷ 271 at start = 10.3%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (52) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (2) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
