Outlet Changes — Item 20
How has the outlet count changed?
United States, as labeled in the FDD · counts as of 2024 of each year.
2025 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 90
Net −2 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.

Reader notes on wording
Our automated check found that these summaries may not match the FDD's exact wording. Read the FDD excerpt itself; it is the authoritative text. Core cost, fee, Item 19 and outlet figures are not affected.
Item 6 · PDF p. 15 · 2025 FDD
Our summary: Annual fee increase maximum
“will not exceed 15% in any annual period”
Note: The provided excerpt covers PDF pages 14–16 and contains no annual fee increase provision, so the maximum and quote cannot be checked against this text.
Item 6 · PDF p. 23 · 2025 FDD
Our summary: Inspection fee
“Currently $600, plus our out-of-pocket costs”
Note: The source text says `out-of- pocket` with a space after the hyphen; the quote removes that space, so it is not verbatim.
Item 6 · PDF p. 15 · 2025 FDD
Our summary: Technology fee maximum additional
“Currently, the maximum additional Technology Fee is $500.”
Note: The provided excerpt covers PDF pages 14–16 and contains no Technology Fee passage, so the claimed maximum and quote cannot be checked against this source text.
Item 6 · PDF p. 25 · 2025 FDD
Our summary: Additional office fee
“initial franchise fee for additional NerdsToGo Offices is $24,875”
Note: The provided excerpt covers PDF pages 24–26 but does not include the additional-office fee or the quoted $24,875, so this claim cannot be checked against the supplied text.
Item 6 · PDF p. 23 · 2025 FDD
Our summary: Non-compliance cure fee markup
“plus 10% administrative fee”
Note: The source says `plus a 10% administrative fee`; the quote omits `a`, so it is not verbatim.
