Item 19
What Red Barn 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. If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the Federal Trade Commission, the appropriate state regulatory agencies, and our management by contacting Dr. Kevin D. Corsini at 105 Towne Lake Parkway, Woodstock, Georgia 30188 or by calling (678) 707-8114.

How many Red Barn outlets there are, and how many closed
Red Barn ended 2025 with 125 franchised outlets and 11 company-owned outlets. In that year 54 franchised outlets opened and 15 left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2023 through 2025, Red Barn opened 139 franchised outlets and 27 outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 112, from 13 to 125 franchised outlets. Of the outlets that left, 10 were terminated, 11 were bought back by the franchisor, and 6 closed for other reasons.
On average, about 18% of franchised outlets left the system each year, roughly 1 in 6.
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.
