About SafeGraph Spend Patterns coverage

Hi, I am analyzing the SafeGraph Spend Patterns dataset and noticed significant variations in store/branch coverage for some firms and brands over time.

Possible measurement error in number of transactions in 2022 for Starbucks?

Is there any documented measurement error in Starbucks's transaction count in 2022? I noticed that 99.5% of all Starbucks stores in the data set had less than 3000 monthly transactions. However, some stores, like the one attached in Exhibit, had 10 times the number of transactions in only one month in 2022, which is surprising. I have a list of several other such Starbucks stores.
