Source and method
Computed at build time from 1,567 franchise FDD filings (WI; filing dates 2025-08-22 to 2026-08-21). Field: item20 franchised_end / net_change / terminations (Item 20). Non-null disclosed values: n = 1,456 (92.9% of filings); filings where the field is blank (not disclosed or not verified) are excluded from distribution statistics. Percentiles use linear interpolation (exclusive method). No figure on this page is estimated or inferred; every underlying per-brand figure is transcribed from a cited FDD page and linked from the brand directory. Counts disclosed: outlets at year end 1,456; net change 1,454; terminations 1,016.
