Store Expansion and Network Growth
Breeze acquisition added 162 net stores, pushing the network to 2,456 locations, and the company is moving toward the 3,500‑store milestone. New store adds continue to be a tailwind, and immature stores mature over four‑five years, improving profitability and car counts.
Immature store mix from recent acquisitions is compressing near‑term margins, and the expansion adds debt and integration costs that could pressure returns if traffic slows.
