FDD ITEM 20 · FISCAL 2021–2025
SNAPOLOGY Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), SNAPOLOGY reported 129 franchised outlets at year end. 5 of 120 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 4.2%— while 14 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +83.1% over 2021–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 76 | 71 | 88 | 105 | 121 |
| Opened | 10 | 19 | 27 | 32 | 14 |
| Transfers | 0 | 0 | 5 | 2 | 8 |
| Terminations | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 11 | 3 | 6 | 14 | 4 |
| Outlets at end | 71 | 88 | 105 | 121 | 130 |
| Net change | -5 | +17 | +17 | +16 | +9 |
1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 4 ceased (other) = 5 exits ÷ 120 at start = 4.2%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (8) 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 SNAPOLOGY's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
