Item 19
What Barrio Burrito Bar franchisees actually report earning
This brand's FDD publishes no Item 19.
We do not make any representations about a franchisee’s future financial performance or the past financial performance of company-owned or franchised outlets. We also do not authorize our employees or representatives to make any such representations either orally or in writing. If you are purchasing an existing outlet, however, we may provide you with the actual records of that outlet. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor’s management by contacting Surinder Singh Sandhu, 9516-C Lee Highway, Fairfax, Virginia 22031, (443) 433-8020, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.

Barrio Burrito Bar ended 2024 with 4 franchised outlets and no company-owned outlets. In that year 2 franchised outlets opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, Barrio Burrito Bar opened 3 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 3, from 1 to 4 franchised outlets.
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.
