Franchise pipeline details, measured growth.
Q&A fleshed out the 34-store area development pipeline across four franchisees—three existing—with measured rollouts over 4-5 years and financing from well-capitalized operators minimizing debt needs. Management confirmed cocoa tailwinds from locking 20% of needs near $5,000/ton but dodged quantifying chocolate's cost share. They pivoted capital allocation toward free cash flow investments, nixing more equity raises. No dramatic 2026 revenue growth eyed from new stores; same-store sales take priority. Execution remains the key hurdle. Investors watch franchise momentum.
