Method. Share is each chain’s portion of total category store visits, resolved deterministically from opt-in device visits across ~74.6M U.S. households. Change is same-store (only locations active in both periods) and outlier-trimmed, so it reflects real visitation rather than coverage or panel changes; it is category-relative, which controls for seasonality and panel growth. Comparison is H2 2024 vs H2 2025. Aggregate and k-anonymous — never PII. Movement reflects both creative and media weight and is not attributed to creative alone.
