ZOOMIN GROOMIN (UNIT) Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), ZOOMIN GROOMIN (UNIT) reported 257 franchised outlets at year end. 9 of 169 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 5.3%— while 97 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +267.1% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 15 | 70 | 169 |
| Opened | 55 | 106 | 97 |
| Transfers | 6 | 5 | 20 |
| Terminations | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 6 | 9 |
| Outlets at end | 70 | 169 | 257 |
| Net change | +55 | +99 | +88 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 9 ceased (other) = 9 exits ÷ 169 at start = 5.3%
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.
