A record is a single business location in our database. A new record is one that entered our newly opened businesses section between September 23 – October 23, 2026 — dated by when it reached us, not by an opening date. The 30 countries are those with the most new records in that period.
Phone and website rates show how often that detail is present in our records. “Own website” excludes social media and platform pages. Categories are each record's own category and were not merged.
