TOMMY'S EXPRESS Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), TOMMY'S EXPRESS reported 244 franchised outlets at year end. 2 of 206 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.0%— while 46 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +209.5% over 2021–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 56 | 84 | 129 | 175 | 216 |
| Opened | 29 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 46 |
| Transfers | 6 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 13 |
| Terminations | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 6 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 84 | 129 | 175 | 216 | 260 |
| Net change | +28 | +45 | +46 | +41 | +44 |
1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 2 exits ÷ 206 at start = 1.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (13) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (6) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
