Most Stable Hospitality Franchises

Ranked on the share of outlets that leave the system each year — terminated, not renewed, or ceased operations. Outlets the franchisor reacquires are excluded: the shop is still trading, it simply changed hands. This is the closest thing an FDD offers to a failure rate, and it is the number a prospective franchisee should read before any growth figure.

Computed from Item 20 of each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document and recomputed as coverage grows. Brands are excluded where the filing's own outlet arithmetic doesn't balance — a mis-parsed table should not outrank a correct one. This list has never been, and cannot be, paid for. How this is calculated.
