Medians across the 9 Arkansas cafes we hold a price for, against the same item averaged nationally. Franchisees set their own prices, so treat these as what to expect rather than a quote.
The same 5 items priced at each of the 9 Arkansas cafes we hold a full price list for. $0.50 separates the two ends.
