If by thrills they mean pins and needles in my left arm, throwing up before opening my trading app, and not being able to sleep, then yes, I am being thrilled

I don't really understand how waiting 30 minutes for a coffee is somehow a sign of a healthy company to you?

I live in Denver and I can assure you that Dutch Bros has numerous unhappy employees and even more unhappy customers. They're a far reach from what they once were and will end up no differently than any every other brand that forgot its roots.

Their new buildouts are like 5 times the size of their original builds, their original builds were supposed to be a part of their brand.

I'm not debating that the company will grow because obviously it will. The Dutch Bros you see 5 years from now will be nothing like the Dutch Bros that people loved and supported to get it to where it is today though. There are few QSR brands (if not absolutely zero) that stuck to their brand standards throughout their growth.

The fact you see no risk is prob how you'll end up losing money. There are always risks and while systemic risk can only be hedged so far, the coffee business, is not recession proof. Best they can hope for is super low cogs and mass volume in that environment.

I also like that to own a franchise you have to work as a manager for 2 years. New stores open and so far all have been immediately profitable. Due to the fact owners know their business.

I had a friend who wanted to buy a DB. He has a lot more money than me…. He offered a lot of money, they would not sell to him, regardless of investment or cost, unless he worked, at age 55 for them from the bottom up. That kind of thing is very rare and creates a team that not only is well trained, but has heart.

I just truly think it’s safer than gold to put your money with them.
