Wings Over Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2022), Wings Over reported 29 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 30 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 10.0%— while 2 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +2.9% over 2020–2022.
| Status (FTC) | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 38 | 34 | 37 |
| Opened | 0 | 5 | 2 |
| Transfers | 2 | 0 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 34 | 37 | 35 |
| Net change | -4 | +3 | -2 |
3 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 30 at start = 10.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (1) 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.
