| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 212 | 235 | 256 |
| Opened | 24 | 25 | 28 |
| Transfers | 15 | 10 | 20 |
| Terminations | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 2 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 235 | 256 | 284 |
| Net change | +23 | +21 | +28 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 256 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (20) 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.
