That’s what everyone thought about CAVA, who knows what will happen

Liking the product doesn't guarantee equity returns when multiple compression hits. Fast casual rollouts like CAVA or BROS trade at huge valuation multiples while early store-level unit economics show 18 to 24 month payback periods in high density markets. The real risk isn't store count expansion, it's scaling past core regional density. As store-level CapEx ramps and secondary sites generate lower average unit volumes, return on invested capital degrades. Multiples contract fast long before revenue stops growing.

Shows just how in touch op is. Did they really refer CAVA after receiving news this week.
