Lowest average annual franchised-unit attrition
Brands ranked by average annual franchised attrition (terminations, non-renewals, reacquisitions and other closures as a share of start-of-year units).
How this list is built. Metric: Average annual attrition. Source: each brand’s FDD (Items 6, 7, 19 and 20), as recorded on its profile with citations. Brands without the required disclosure are listed separately below rather than ranked with a guessed value. Attrition counts every way a franchised outlet leaves the system, including reacquisition by the franchisor. Read the Item 20 notes on each profile — some brands net relocations or consolidations into “ceased operations — other”.
