How we calculate it

  • Where the counts come from. Every Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) has an Item 20 with tables of outlets. We copy the number of franchised outlets at the start and end of the most recent year, and the closures in that year, from the FDD the brand filed with Minnesota's Commerce Department, which publishes them. Each count links to its source.
  • What counts as a closure. Outlets the franchisor terminated, did not renew, or that stopped operating for other reasons. Outlets sold to a new owner are not closures, and neither are outlets the franchisor bought back.
  • The rate is our calculation. Closures divided by franchised outlets at the start of the year. It is one year only, and the brands' years differ, so treat it as a rough signal rather than a ranking.
  • Small brands aren't rated. A brand that started the year with fewer than 10 franchised outlets is listed but marked “too small to rate”, because a single closure would swing its rate too far.
  • Franchised outlets only. Company-owned locations are left out. A growing brand can have a low rate simply because most of its outlets are new.
