FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2023–2025
BRICKS AND MINFIGS Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), BRICKS AND MINFIGS reported 217 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 154 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.9%— while 67 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +156.3% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 55 | 87 | 160 |
| Opened | 35 | 75 | 67 |
| Transfers | 4 | 3 | 6 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Non-renewals | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 87 | 160 | 223 |
| Net change | +32 | +73 | +63 |
2 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 154 at start = 1.9%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (6) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (1) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
