Sunoco Service Station franchise in New York: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Sunoco Service Station in New York have taken 11 SBA loans since 1991 (average $421,500)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 13.2% is the better guide.
