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

2025 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 48
Net −3 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.
