65,313 verified openings counted across 52 regions in the tracked window. Openings are individually confirmed new locations, not the quarter-over-quarter difference in a store count.
Both numbers are counted over the openings index, so a state's figure is openings in the window — not stores standing in the state.
Counted under region codes with no state page: PR (2). They are in the index and are listed here rather than dropped.
