- The first table below contains System-wide Gross Sales data for the 20 franchised outlets that have all completed more than one season of operation in a single location (those who had not completed more than one season of operation by December 31, 2022 are not included).
- The second table contains System-wide Gross Sales data for the remaining 45 franchised outlets that have completed more than one season of operation operating in multiple locations.
