Exhibit A
Notaries work in Garden Grove
Garden Grove sits in the middle of Orange County, and the notary work here follows the people who live in it. A large share of residents are Vietnamese speaking, and a good part of the notary demand in the city comes from documents that need a signing in one language and a stamp that is understood in another. The firms doing this work are mostly small: single operators working out of a home office, a storefront on Garden Grove Boulevard, or a desk inside a tax or immigration paperwork business. Chain notary brands are thin on the ground here compared with the independent operators. That means the searches are spread across many small businesses rather than concentrated on a few big names, and a notary who publishes pages for the specific documents people bring in can hold a place in those results.
