Reporting periods and scope

Worldwide locations

≥270 worldwide lower bound from North American glass-service locations; census date unstated. The official about paragraph expressly connects 270 North American locations with providing glass repair, replacement and installation services. The regional operating-service population supplies an inferred worldwide lower bound, not a worldwide exact count or U.S.-only total. The older held recruitment claim is 175+ North American locations. It is a weaker compatible bound, but dates and population differences are not reconciled; no growth rate is inferred. Founding year 1962 is not a census date. No company/franchise split or distinct street-premises count is established. All selected pages are undated. September 15, 2026 is the new capture observation date, not a census or publication date. Operating service businesses may work from home or within service areas. No street premises, exact worldwide census, current individual owner identity or country/company allocation is inferred. All prior entries, eligibility history, financial metrics and typed U.S. unit fields remain unchanged.
