DivaDance (Unit) Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), DivaDance (Unit) reported 40 franchised outlets at year end. 2 of 35 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 5.7%— while 7 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +34.4% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 30 | 32 | 39 |
| Opened | 5 | 13 | 7 |
| Transfers | 4 | 7 | 4 |
| Terminations | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 5 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 32 | 39 | 43 |
| Net change | +2 | +7 | +4 |
2 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 2 exits ÷ 35 at start = 5.7%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (4) 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.
