a lot of veggies, which means it has inherently less competition than a chain like el pollo loco. let's talk numbers and see how zoe's stacks up to chipotle back in the days when it was a much smaller similar size. average annual sales for restaurants that have been open for at least six months. right now, zoe's has an average unit of $5.5 million. back when they only had 100 or so stores, it was roughly half. how has chipotle done lately? over the last six years, they've more doubled their annual unit volume, now it's an astounding $2.2 million. can zoe's expect similar growth? that's a tough one. a lot of chains like panera bread have to do with the fast casual revolution. with these companies creating a happy medium between limited service fast food joints like mcdonald's and full service restaurants think darden. zoe's operating in 2014 is experiencing the benefits of that. so while the average -- the company's average unit volumes are very strong, i don't think we can expect truly explosive growth on this front. the model's been solved. how about new store growth? this is key
