Closures are the franchisor's Item 20 counts of units terminated, not renewed, or ceased for other reasons, summed over 2023–2025 and divided by franchised units at the start of 2023. Units the franchisor reacquired are not closures. This is an Item 20 count, not a failure rate.
As filed: the 2023 row sums to 280, not the 275 printed; the 2025 row ends at 143 while Table 1 prints 141 franchised outlets at the end of 2025.
Source and method
Every figure above comes from the 9Round Franchise Disclosure Document issued 2026-04-16, as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (filing 641029, registry record). The PDF is the franchisor's and is not hosted here; the item and page beside each figure is where to check it. Item 7 and Item 20 tables were read cell by cell; Item 19 was read by hand; each Item 20 year was checked to sum (start + opened − exits = end) before it was recorded.
