JINYA RAMEN BAR Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), JINYA RAMEN BAR reported 67 franchised outlets at year end. 1 of 59 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 1.7%— while 9 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +25.0% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 45 | 56 | 62 |
| Opened | 12 | 7 | 9 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Outlets at end | 56 | 62 | 70 |
| Net change | +11 | +6 | +8 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 59 at start = 1.7%
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.
