Why is it feminine?

Sucursales is feminine because it derives from the Latin "succursalis," which when used as a noun (with the feminine article "la") referred to a branch office or subsidiary establishment. In Spanish, nouns ending in "-al" are typically masculine (e.g., "hospital," "animal"), but "sucursal" is an exception that retained the feminine gender from its Latin feminine form, likely because the underlying noun "domus" (house/office) was feminine in Latin.
