| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 78 | 77 | 107 |
| Opened | 27 | 41 | 3 |
| Transfers | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Terminations | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 3 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 77 | 107 | 115 |
| Net change | -1 | +30 | +8 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 96 at start = 0.0%
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 (3) 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 Scoop Soldiers's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
