Item 20
How many Labor Finders outlets there are, and how many closed
Labor Finders ended 2025 with 80 franchised outlets and 86 company-owned outlets. In that year no franchised outlets opened and 3 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Labor Finders opened 1 franchised outlet and 105 outlets left the system. That is a net loss of 104, from 184 to 80 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 4 were terminated, 99 were bought back by the franchisor, and 2 closed for other reasons.
On average, about 30% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 3.
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.
