Source: SBA 7(a)/504 FOIA files (data.sba.gov), borrower state = SC. Loss ratio = charge-offs among loans approved through FY2020 ÷ the charge-offs expected if each had defaulted at the national rate for franchise loans approved the same year; 1.0× is the same. Only charged-off and paid-in-full loans count. A ratio is shown at 30+ such loans; “not clear” marks a ratio chance alone could produce. The all-years count mixes every era and is evidence, not a rate to compare. Borrowers are matched to the brand by name and SBA franchise code; some matches may be wrong or missing.

Every business in BEEF O' BRADY'S FAMILY SPORTS PUBS's industry operating in South Carolina — franchised and independent — from the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (2023), against 2024 population estimates.

A crowded market is usually proven demand; an empty one is often empty for a reason.
