Southern’s current brand page and site map list Daniel’s. Consumer-facing routing/brand consolidation signals remain inconsistent, so the brand is counted as current-facing but flagged. October 26 review: Southern retains a current Daniel’s brand page; the operating-location roster still lacks a distinct Daniel’s office. The activity conflict and unmapped status remain open.
