A metro area shows a ranking once it has at least 2 tracked beauty store chains and 10 tracked stores. Relative to Pennsylvania compares a chain's share of the metro area's spend with its share in Pennsylvania as a whole. It ranks the 7 biggest chains in Pennsylvania and the chains that lead a metro area by spend, wherever a chain has at least 5% of the metro area's spend and 3 stores there.
