Pink Zebra Moving Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Pink Zebra Moving reported 19 franchised outlets at year end. 2 of 13 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 15.4%— while 8 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +111.1% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 3 | 9 | 14 |
| Opened | 8 | 9 | 8 |
| Transfers | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| Outlets at end | 9 | 14 | 19 |
| Net change | +6 | +5 | +5 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 2 ceased (other) = 2 exits ÷ 13 at start = 15.4%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (1) 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.
