    Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero, so the line looks nearly flat; the labels between the dots show each year's change. Openings and closures for 2024 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.

    • Which locations are included in the Item 19 figures, and which were excluded?

    • Reported units decreased from 325 to 0 in 2024. What drove the change?
