Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, Wok to Walk opened 1 franchised outlet and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 1, from 2 to 3 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
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.
