FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2020–2021
PacLease Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2021), PacLease reported 374 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 366 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 36 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +0.8% over 2020–2021.
| Status (FTC) | 2020 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 0 | 373 |
| Opened | 0 | 36 |
| Transfers | 5 | 15 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 373 | 376 |
| Net change | +373 | +3 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 366 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (15) 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 PacLease's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
