Openings are counted from individually verified store openings rather than from the quarter-over-quarter difference in the index's record count, and every count reflects what the index observed on that date, so a figure can lag a chain's own reporting. Where a figure is not carried above, it is not carried at all: this index reports missing values as missing rather than substituting an estimate. ## How to cite this - As of: Q3 2026 - Canonical: https://cobroker.ai/market/naturalgrocers.com - Source: Cobroker's US location index - Methodology: https://cobroker.ai/methodology - JSON: https://cobroker.ai/api/market/brand/naturalgrocers.com
