| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |

| Outlets at start | 85 | 82 | 79 |
| Opened | 0 | 0 | 7 |
| Transfers | 4 | 3 | 5 |
| Terminations | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 83 | 78 | 84 |
| Net change | -2 | -4 | +5 |
1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 2 exits ÷ 66 at start = 3.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (5) 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.
