As the company matures, the focus will remain on maintaining the integrity of its locally-sourced menu while navigating the complexities of rapid growth in the fast-casual restaurant industry. Investors will be monitoring the company's ability to maintain its community-centric brand identity while scaling its footprint in a post-pandemic economic landscape.
