Franchisee

Franchisee group
Several operators under common ownership. Groups are identified for 23% of franchised locations in this snapshot, so the count is a minimum.

Per capita
Open locations per million residents of each state and DC. Residents: U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2025 population estimates (NST-EST2025), July 1, 2025.
