Outlet Changes — Item 20

How has the outlet count changed?

Systemwide — Area Representative Business outlets, as labeled in the FDD · counts as of 2024 year of each year.

2025 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 58

Net +12 outlets, 2022–2024

Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero, so the line looks nearly flat; the labels between the dots show each year's change. Openings and closures for 2024 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.

Questions to investigate

Prompts based on what this brand's reviewed disclosures do and don't show — not conclusions. Join free as a member to save questions to your research.

For the franchisor

Which line items in the 2025 Item 7 estimate ($91,850 – $512,575) 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?
Reported units went from 188 to 197 in 2024. How many new units opened, closed or changed hands?
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.
Ask an accountant to build a cash-flow plan using your own assumptions, not the franchisor's.
