Specifically, for Florida, the table indicates that there were 10 outlets at the start of 2022, 2023 and 2024.

It's important to note that this data reflects traditional Benihana restaurant locations and does not include virtual locations or non-traditional locations such as those in stadiums or arenas. The FDD mentions that an affiliate of BNC operates RA® Sushi restaurants, which offer a limited menu of Benihana items for delivery or takeout only, and these virtual locations are not included in the outlet data. Additionally, Benihana has agreements for non-traditional locations in places like Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL, but these are also excluded from the outlet counts in the table.
