How many Exit franchises in Florida were terminated in 2024?

According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 6 terminations of Exit franchises in Florida during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 includes data regarding the status of franchise outlets, including terminations, across various states and years. This information is crucial for prospective franchisees to understand the stability and turnover within the Exit franchise system.

Specifically, the table details the number of outlets at the start of the year, the number of outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by subfranchisors, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year. For Florida in 2024, there were 49 outlets at the start of the year, 6 outlets opened, and 6 terminations, resulting in 41 outlets at the end of the year. Additionally, 5 outlets were reacquired by subfranchisors and 3 were non-renewals.

This level of detail allows potential Exit franchisees to assess the health and performance of the franchise network in specific geographic areas. Terminations can occur for various reasons, including franchisees not meeting performance standards, breaches of the franchise agreement, or voluntary decisions to exit the system. A high number of terminations could indicate underlying issues within the franchise system, while a low number suggests greater stability.

It is important for prospective franchisees to investigate the reasons behind terminations and other changes in outlet status to gain a comprehensive understanding of the risks and opportunities associated with investing in an Exit franchise. Reviewing this data in conjunction with other information in the FDD, such as franchisee contact information and litigation history, can provide a more complete picture of the franchise system's overall health.
