Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, OrthoLazer opened 10 franchised outlets and 2 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 8, from 12 to 20 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 2 were terminated.
On average, about 4.4% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 23.
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.
