Unit Growth Analysis
This franchise is on an accelerating growth trajectory: unit count went from 2 (2023) to 3 (2024), a 50% increase, then jumped to 73 in 2025 — a 2,333.3% year‑over‑year rise. For investors this signals a dramatic scaling event (organic rollout, master/franchise sales, or acquisition) that can indicate strong demand but requires verification of sustainability—confirm that the 73 units are operational, profitable, and supported by sufficient franchisor infrastructure before treating the spike as long‑term health.
