Starting by serving major cities in Texas, Favor expanded between 2013 and 2016 to serve a total of 23 cities in the United States and Canada. However, in June 2016 it pulled out of Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and 3 other major cities in the US,[4] shut down operations in Toronto in December,[5] and in January 2017 pulled out of the remaining cities it had served outside Texas. The company continued operations in 15 cities in Texas.[6]
