What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 4 Exit franchises operating in Missouri at the start of 2023. The table provided in Item 20 of the FDD details the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by subfranchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year for each state.
For a prospective franchisee, this information indicates the stability and growth (or decline) of the Exit franchise network in Missouri. Knowing the number of franchises operating at the beginning of the year provides a baseline for understanding any changes that occurred during the year, such as new openings, terminations, or non-renewals.
Specifically, the data shows that in Missouri, there were 4 franchises at the start of 2022, and no changes occurred during 2022, so there were still 4 at the end of 2022. In 2023, there were 4 franchises at the start and end of the year, indicating no net change. This could suggest a stable market presence for Exit in Missouri, but further investigation into factors like gross sales and market penetration would be beneficial for prospective franchisees.
