Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, Mastercare opened 1 franchised outlet and 1 outlet left the system. The franchised system ended the period the same size it started. Of the outlets that left, 1 closed for other reasons.
The system had no franchised outlets at the start of these years, so there is no departure rate to calculate.
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.
