A city is published once 3 or more distinct chains have verified openings in it. Below that a page would carry less than its own title.
3 of these cities are written more than one way in the index ("St Louis", "St. Louis", "St.Louis"). Those are one city and are counted once; the city's own page lists every spelling it holds.
Index entries classified as name collisions, brands embedded inside another business, or virtual-only operators are excluded. An entry the classifier has not yet reached is kept.
Openings are counted from individually verified new locations rather than from the quarter-over-quarter change in a record count.
