Outlet Changes — Item 20
How has the outlet count changed?

2026 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 80
Net −27 outlets, 2023–2025

For the franchisor
Which line items in the 2026 Item 7 estimate ($1,464,697 – $5,871,375) vary most by market, and why?
Which initial fee option would apply to my situation, and what conditions or discounts affect it?
Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?
Is a territory available in my area, and how is it defined in my agreement?
For current and former owners
How did your actual startup costs and timeline compare with the Item 7 estimate?
How many hours a week do you work in the business, and in what role?
How do your results compare with the Item 19 figures, and what explains the difference?
What support from the franchisor has been most and least useful?
For your advisors
Ask a franchise attorney to review the territory, renewal, transfer and termination terms.
