Opening rate = outlets opened ÷ franchised outlets at start of the fiscal year, from Table 1 of each brand's latest real FDD Item 20, descending. Systems with fewer than 50 franchised units at the start of the year are excluded — tiny bases make growth rates meaningless. Fast selling is not fast succeeding: read the same filing's exit columns before being impressed.
Universe: every brand tracked here whose latest filing is a verified extraction from a public FDD (state regulator portals, chiefly Minnesota CARDS), filed 2017–2026. Sample/seed data never enters a ranking. Each row's “FDD” link is the official document the figure came from; each brand link leads to the full sourced profile. See the site methodology for extraction and confidence rules.
A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. I'm paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing the numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
