A client has physical locations, but they are a SAB. Are multiple GBPs allowed?

I have a client who is expanding their physical footprint with brick-and-mortar locations. But they don't serve customers at the locations. In fact, the target customers are not close to the physical locations so exposure in the service areas is important. Can each location have a GBP, which can be set around a service area? Can those service areas overlap?

@JoyHawkins I found an article on your website that answers this question that was written back in 2020. Will you be updating it? What is Google's update on GBP rules and guidelines for SABs? If a SAB has multiple locations with employees but is within 2 hours of drive time having 2 or multiple listings is not allowed?

Not much has changed in the last 2 years so there isn't much to update

If the service areas don't overlap and they are a completely different set of staff servicing each area, it's likely allowed.
