In its latest FDD Item 20 (fiscal 2025), UNITED FRANCHISE HOLDINGS, LLC reported 46 franchised outlets at year end. 3 of 37 franchised outlets open at the start of the year left the system — an annualized exit rate of 8.1%— while 12 new outlets opened. Systemwide units moved +33.3% over 2023–2025.

| Non-renewals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Reacquired by franchisor | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Ceased — other reasons | 0 | 2 | 3 |
| Outlets at end | 42 | 47 | 56 |

0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 3 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 37 at start = 8.1%
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.
