Item 19
What ChiroWay 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.

Item 20
How many ChiroWay outlets there are, and how many closed
ChiroWay ended 2024 with 12 franchised outlets and 1 company-owned outlet. In that year 3 franchised outlets opened and 2 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, ChiroWay opened 8 franchised outlets and 4 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 4, from 8 to 12 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 3 were not renewed and 1 closed for other reasons.
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.
