Another table shows that at the start of 2025, there was 1 outlet, none opened, none were reacquired, none closed, none were sold, resulting in 1 outlet at the end of 2025. A third table shows that at the start of 2025, there were 0 outlets, 2 opened, none were terminated, none non-renewed, none were reacquired, 1 ceased operations for other reasons, resulting in 1 outlet at the end of 2025.
