Properties, in its own words

As of December 27, 2025, we had 4,252 locations relating to our continuing operations, of which 1,036 are company-operated store locations primarily within our Take 5 and Auto Glass Now segments. Of these company-operated store locations, we owned 20 and leased 1,016 covering buildings and/or land. In addition to these, we held leases covering building and/or land for 5 distribution centers and 10 offices and training centers in the U.S. and Canada, including our corporate headquarters located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The leases generally have initial expiration dates ranging from 5 and 20 years, with certain renewal options available. We also leased 43 properties that were either leased or subleased to franchisees as of December 27, 2025. We believe that the properties are suitable and adequate for the Company’s business.
