- A 20-record sample covers September 22 through October 5, 2026; the page cautions that this historical window does not guarantee weekly volume.
Field notes
The sample table includes license dates, business names, addresses, ZIP codes, and inferred categories; the visible excerpt shows five of the stated 20 records. The page distinguishes City-supplied fields from its own category inferences and notes that records can change. It also says the feed has no verified owner contacts or purchase-intent data, positioning it as a route-planning aid rather than a list of confirmed openings or buyers.
