2026 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 50

Net +14 outlets, 2023–2025

Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero; the labels between the dots show each year's change. Openings and closures for 2025 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 2026 Item 7 estimate ($482,741 – $759,920) 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 24 to 30 in 2025. 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.

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 12 · PDF p. 36 · 2026 FDD
Our summary: Protected Territory: typically an area with a minimum population of 10,000 children aged 0-9, subject to the FDD’s terms.
“A Protected Territory will typically be an area with a minimum population of 10,000 children aged 0-9 (as determined by the most recent U.S. Census data).”
Note: Supplied quote could not be confirmed on the cited PDF page excerpt.
Item 19 · PDF p. 48 · 2026 FDD
Our summary: Table 1 Bottom 50% locations — Average annual revenue
“Average $524,828 $406,531 $288,234”
Note: The table gives the bottom 50% group as a percentage but does not state its whole-location count. The total 22-location cohort is not a valid sample count for this subset, and I cannot infer the subset count.
Item 19 · PDF p. 48 · 2026 FDD
Our summary: Table 1 Top 50% locations — Average annual revenue
“Average $524,828 $406,531 $288,234”
Note: PDF p.48 identifies 22 franchised PSM locations open for the full 52-week period, but does not state a whole-number sample count specifically for the Top 50% subset. I cannot derive that subset count without inference.
