Store expansion is ongoing with 22 new stores opened and plans to add more, aiming for around 59 stores combining last year and this year’s commitments. (Pages 4-8)
Revenue recovery depends on removal of COVID restrictions; states with eased regulations are already outperforming 2019 levels for stores 2 years or older. (Pages 3, 9)
Larger store sizes (~50,000 sq ft) preferred as they work better for sales efficiency. (Page 5)
