From 2021 to 2023, the number of company-owned Crave Cookies locations remained constant at one.
Specifically, at the start of 2021, there was 1 company-owned outlet, which remained the same at the end of the year. This pattern continued through 2022 and 2023, with one company-owned outlet at both the beginning and end of each year.
