DBPR food-service licenses are non-transferable: when a restaurant changes hands the state issues a brand-new license number even if the storefront, the name, and the menu never change. That makes the physical address unit—not the street address alone—the stable key for separating two different lifecycle events. Type A is silent ownership turnover: the same concept with a qualifying new operator. Type B is concept replacement: a materially different restaurant at the same unit. 100 raw candidates are withheld because venue type, unit identity, or classification confidence is incomplete. Ownership change is not proof of financial failure, and neither event proves why the transition occurred. 8231 addresses are concept graveyards — the storefront survives while the restaurant inside it keeps dying; the worst, 4700 W SAND LAKE RD (Orlando), buried 26 distinct concepts. 2221 addresses are quiet buyouts — the same concept (SLICE PIZZERIA AND WING HOUSE) changed hands 4 times without ever closing.

License delinquency and ownership changes are separate signals. Neither alone proves that a restaurant has closed.
