Superglass Windshield Repair Item 20: outlets, closures & growth
In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), Superglass Windshield Repair reported 180 franchised outlets at year end. 0 of 179 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 0.0%— while 3 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved -1.1% over 2023–2025.
| Status (FTC) | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets at start | 180 | 185 | 179 |
| Opened | 5 | 4 | 3 |
| Transfers | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Terminations | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| Non-renewals | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 5 | 0 |
| Outlets at end | 185 | 179 | 183 |
| Net change | +5 | -6 | +4 |
0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 0 exits ÷ 179 at start = 0.0%
These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (4) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (2) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
