Outlet counts as each filing states them — 2025: Year ended December 31, 2024; 2026: December 31, 2025. Outlet counts reflect both active and former license structures. Reductions due in part to consolidations of multiple licenses into single franchises. See Item 20 notes for methodology and definitions.
