Something I think is worth noting is that they don't really expand in focused areas. They focus on what locations they get, but they don't choose to expand in one certain area, because they've got restaurants all over the place. It seems like they ca...

The restaurants are always packed, good locations, decent food, relatively high prices. Lots of potential for expansion. Low on debt, which I consider a plus in this business although it lowers the return on equity, which I otherwise value highly.

Prejudice warning: I'm bearish on the entire resaurant industry.
