If you have just taken up the subject, you have certainly found more than one Google listing corresponding to a given branch. This is because Google greatly values the input of the community of local pioneers and regular Google Maps users. Among other things, they can add new places to the maps. Once approved by the algorithms, they appear in local search results, and others can optimize them by submitting corrections. Additionally, a given Google listing may have simply been created by one of the employees who is now not associated with the company.
