## What's Included

- **Pending Locations**: Franchise locations with "Pending" status indicating new development
- **Franchise Hierarchy**: Franchisor brand and corporate structure
- **Owner Contacts**: New franchisee name, email, phone, and mobile
- **Location Data**: Planned address and market area
- **Industry**: Franchisor industry classification to understand the type of location being built

## Use Cases

### Construction & Build-Out
Target pending franchise locations with general contracting, interior build-out, signage, and facility construction services. These projects are greenfield opportunities.

### Commercial Real Estate
Reach franchise developers and new franchisees with site selection, lease negotiation, and commercial real estate brokerage services.

### Equipment Pre-Sales
Market kitchen equipment, POS systems, fixtures, and furnishings to new franchise locations before they open. Pending status means purchasing decisions are being made now.
