Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, Conroy opened 1 franchised outlet and 4 outlets left the system. That is a net loss of 3, from 27 to 24 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 2 were terminated, 1 was bought back by the franchisor, and 1 closed for other reasons.
On average, about 5.2% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 19.
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.
