| Status (FTC) | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 76 | 74 | 79 |
| Opened | 2 | 9 | 0 |
| Transfers | 11 | 2 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Non-renewals | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 3 | 1 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 74 | 79 | 77 |
| Net change | -2 | +5 | -2 |
1 terminations + 1 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 2 exits ÷ 79 at start = 2.5%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (0) 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.
A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing Camp Jellystone's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
