For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the existing market presence of Gokhale Method in California. It shows that while there were 6 outlets at the start of 2021, one ceased operations, leaving 5 at the beginning of 2022. The fact that no new outlets opened in California during 2022 and no outlets closed suggests a period of stability in the state.
It is important to note that this information pertains to the specific years listed (2021-2023) and may not reflect more recent changes.
