Unit counts, growth rates and founding years are approximate public figures compiled from company reports and press (2025–26). They are published by third parties, compiled as-is, and may change; we do not independently verify the underlying data — check the company’s own filing before acting on it. The AI Adoption Score is FranchisePulse’s own editorial metric (operations 35% · data infrastructure 30% · marketing 20% · training 15%), not a measured industry statistic — see the open methodology.
