Specifically, for Illinois in 2024, the table shows the following: the number of outlets at the start of the year was 0, the number of outlets opened was 0, the number of outlets reacquired from franchisees was 0, the number of outlets closed was 0, the number of outlets sold to franchisees was 0, and the number of outlets at the end of the year was 0.

It is important to note that this table specifically tracks 'Outlets Reacquired from Franchisees,' which means Aerus taking back franchised locations. The question asks about reacquiring company-owned outlets from franchisees, which is not a typical scenario. Company-owned stores are generally managed directly by the parent company, not by franchisees. Therefore, the table addresses the more common situation of franchise re acquisitions.
