CELEBREE SCHOOLS Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), CELEBREE SCHOOLS reported 44 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 29 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 16 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +56.5% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 39 | 46 | 55 |
| Opened | 7 | 9 | 16 |
| Transfers | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 46 | 55 | 72 |
| Net change | +7 | +9 | +17 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 29 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (1) 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.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing CELEBREE SCHOOLS's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
