One table indicates that Better Blend had 2 outlets in Kentucky at the end of 2023. According to this table, there were zero outlets at the start of the year and two outlets opened during 2023.
However, another table indicates that Better Blend had 1 outlet in Kentucky at the end of 2023. According to this table, there was one outlet at the start of 2023, zero outlets opened, and one outlet at the end of the year.
