Outlet Changes — Item 20
How has the outlet count changed?
System-wide; More Space Place, as labeled in the FDD · counts as of 2024 of each year.
2025 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 56
Net +1 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.
