Education brands with franchised outlets in Texas
Verdict grade: an editorial assessment, not investment advice. Investment is the brand's Item 7 range. “Closed” counts terminations, non-renewals and outlets that ceased operating in the latest year; outlets the franchisor reacquired are not counted as closed. A dash means the printed row did not add up, so its flows are not shown.
