The provided table in Item 20 details the status of franchised outlets, including those that ceased operations for reasons other than terminations, non-renewals, or reacquisition by the franchisor.
Specifically, the table shows the number of outlets at the start of each year, the number opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by Fat Shack, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year. For Oklahoma, the 'Ceased Operations- Other Reasons' column shows '0' for each year from 2022 to 2024.
