Alabama's share of that footprint4.4%A share of the published states only. Both halves are the same measure, so this is not a growth rate.
Verified openings in Alabama0A DIFFERENT measure from the count above: openings detected inside the tracked window, not stores standing today.

  • The two counts above are measured differently and are both correct. Locations in Alabama is a presence snapshot of what operates there now; verified openings counts what opened inside the tracked window. A chain that already had 40 locations in Alabama and opened none reads 0 openings.
  • It is a count of OPENINGS, not of stores. Openings are diffs against the previous release, so a mature operator that finished its Alabama buildout before the window opened shows a large location count and no openings at all.

Edy's Grand Ice Cream has no opening records in Alabama inside the tracked window. It operates there — the count above is a presence snapshot — but nothing opened while the window was watching.
  • 0 cities with verified openings in Alabama.
  • Spellings are folded the same way the city URLs are built, so "St. Louis" and "St Louis" are one city rather than two. The most frequent raw spelling wins the label; "Spellings folded" is how many the index actually holds.
  • Cities are NOT linked: a city page is published only where at least three brands clear the floor, so a link from here would frequently point at a page that does not exist.

  • A state appears here only with at least 3 locations. States below the floor are in the index but have no page, so this total is smaller than the national count.

  • Every figure in this block is NATIONAL. It is identical on all 13 of Edy's Grand Ice Cream's state pages and is not apportioned to Alabama — dividing a national percentage into a state is not a fact about anything, which is why no Alabama growth rate is published anywhere on this page.
  • Openings are individually dated records new to the index; net new is the difference between two count snapshots. The two answer different questions and rarely match.
  • This brand's index coverage is still maturing, so growth percentages are withheld — the counts shown are individually verified store openings.
  • Edy's Grand Ice Cream has an openings series — it is printed in full below — but no quarterly pace is published from it this vintage. A step whose records are majority batch-suspect measures a supplier delivery rather than a buildout, and comparing one against a clean step produces a direction that is an artifact of the ingest. The same applies when one release carries most of the window's openings, or when the two most recent steps are not adjacent releases.

  • Steps are irregular, so a pace is openings divided by the step's real length and multiplied by 91 days rather than a raw quarterly count.
  • A batch-suspect share above half means the records were created on an index-wide vendor ingest day or bunched into a few days of the step; it impeaches the timing, not the existence of the stores.
  • National figures. Not apportioned to any state.
