How these numbers were put together
- Data pulled from the Google Maps / Places API via
scripts/fetch_chains.pyin the cucci-coffee repo. - For each chain, we run one Text Search per state plus a nationwide fallback, paginate up to 3 pages, and dedupe by place_id. Dense states that hit Google's 60-result cap get drilled into city-by-city.
- Only outlets with
businessStatus: OPERATIONALare counted. Permanently closed branches are filtered out. - Independent / specialty cafes are not in this table — only the tracked chains. For the full interactive map including indies, see the homepage.
- Google occasionally returns cross-border matches (Singapore, Brunei) for regional chains; those are filtered against Malaysia's 13 states + 3 FTs.
