In the third quarter we delivered a 28% revenue increase and systemwide same shop sales growth of 2.7%, which exceeded our expectations. We believe our refined real estate strategy is working, as we are seeing strong new shop productivity as we have shifted our development focus and elevated our site selection process. We continue to demonstrate remarkable consistency in our shop opening cadence with 38 shop openings in the third quarter. We are making major investments in our development and construction teams and our 2025 pipeline is strong, positioning us to accelerate new shop growth.

We have received great feedback from broistas and customers and we believe we are beginning to see the impacts on our business.”
