DRYMEDIC Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), DRYMEDIC reported 93 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 66 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 4.5%— while 30 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +76.9% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 43 | 65 | 88 |
| Opened | 19 | 26 | 30 |
| Transfers | 3 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 3 | 1 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 3 | 0 | 2 |
| Outlets at end | 65 | 88 | 115 |
| Net change | +22 | +23 | +27 |
1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 2 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 66 at start = 4.5%
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 DRYMEDIC's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
