ENVIRO-MASTER Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), ENVIRO-MASTER reported 163 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 128 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.8%— while 37 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +74.0% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 91 | 96 | 132 |
| Opened | 7 | 39 | 37 |
| Transfers | 6 | 10 | 4 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 96 | 132 | 167 |
| Net change | +5 | +36 | +35 |
1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 128 at start = 0.8%
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 (1) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
