Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, ApTask opened 0 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. The franchised system ended the period the same size it started.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
