| Cities with index opening records in Ohio | 2 | Distinct cities after folding spelling variants. See the city table. |

Context for the local figures above. None of it is a Ohio number.
| Figure | Value | Basis |

| US locations | 348 | At the latest vintage, Q3 2026. |
| US locations at the window start | 349 | The first tracked vintage, Q4 2024. |
| Net new over the window | -1 | The difference between the two counts above. A count movement, not a count of openings. |
| Growth over the window | withheld: this brand's index coverage is still maturing — see the note under this table | Percentage change in the count between the first and latest vintages, nationwide. |
| Growth as a multiple | withheld: this brand's index coverage is still maturing — see the note under this table | The same movement stated as a multiple of the starting count. |
| Growth against its category | withheld: this brand's index coverage is still maturing — see the note under this table | The brand's percentage change minus its category's, so a rising tide is subtracted out. |
| Mean quarterly change | +0.8 | Average count movement per vintage step. The default ranking key on the hub. |
| Verified openings in the window | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | Individually dated location records new to the index inside the window, nationwide. |
| Openings pace, latest step | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | Verified openings per 91 days over the most recent vintage step. |
| Openings pace, prior step | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Direction | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | Accelerating, steady or slowing, decided on the two paces at the precision they are printed. |
| Latest pace as a share of the base | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | The latest pace over the store count at that step's start vintage. |
| Prior pace as a share of the base | withheld: the opening records are supplier batches — see the note under this table | The same measure one step earlier. |
| Reported openings pace, latest | 0 | The server's own pre-aggregated pace. Shown because the page ranks on the series-derived figure above and the two must agree. |
| Reported openings pace, prior | +3.0 | The same, one step earlier. |
| Largest single step's share of the change | — | One release carrying most of the movement is the signature of a data-coverage artifact rather than of openings. |
| Steps that moved the same direction | 57% | A real buildout moves one way most quarters. This and the row above are the credibility filter. |
| Passes the credibility filter | no | Largest step at or under half the movement, most steps in one direction, and net new above zero. |
| Cleared to print a percentage | no | Whether the index's coverage of this brand is mature enough for a rate to mean anything. |
| Openings corroborated by coverage | — | Share of the openings that agree with the count series over the same step. |
| Records matching the brand's own website | 99% | Share of index records whose website resolves to this domain. |
| Records sharing an address with another operator | 60% | High values mean host locations, sibling banners or shared kitchens rather than the chain's own leases. |
| Entity class | chain | Anything other than a chain is not published as a brand page in this state tier. |
| Category | Dining and Drinking > Restaurant > Sandwich Spot | The index's own category path for this brand. |
| Segment | Burgers & Sandwiches | The published grouping the category rolls up to. |
