"We have repeatedly surpassed our growth goals by continued investment in our infrastructure and quality customer service that will continue to be our focus in the second quarter."

In order to achieve this objective, the brand looks to continue expanding into top markets throughout the country as well as pursuing its long-term goal of securing a larger international presence. New and existing locations are achieving record growth and profitability, and this is contributing to the system's positive results.
