Top retailers are ranked by annual retail sales over the past 52/53 weeks. In almost all cases, the sales used to rate companies are for retail operations only in the United States; If not, footnotes are provided. 

Various estimation techniques are used to arrive at US retail sales data based on publicly available information. For this reason, the figures presented may not always correspond to the official public reports of the companies.

The Company's revenues from non-retail operating segments are removed unless otherwise noted; system-wide sales are provided when it comes to franchise operations. In line with the methodology used in previous years, the rankings eliminate fuel sales at locations designated as the main activity with a petrol/gas station.
