We like the
graphical representa­
tion of how Lazy­
bones will grow over
time. Note that the
blue bar represents
the eight company­
owned stores and the
red represents new
franchisees.

We like how
Lazybones benchmarks
its growth against other
franchise operations.
Here, they have sug­
gested that they are
growing slower, which
might make this more
realistic. Of course, an
investor might question
why they aren't growing
faster.
