Chains and independents

Of the 437 second-hand shops we hold, 96 (22%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Cash Converters (88), Pawn My Car (4), Astro Pawn Klerksdorp (3) and Gold Vault Gold Exchange (1). The other 78% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
