Statewide Cuisine Rankings

Closure, rebrand-count, and rebrand-rate rankings by cuisine.

Donuts leads the statewide closure-rate board among cuisines with publishable samples. CTI reads cuisine as a turnover market: closure rates, not raw counts, drive comparisons; rebrand count and rebrand rate stay separate because a concept can fail quietly, churn loudly, or do both at once.
