We also have enjoyed the lowest interest rates in history, which has allowed our team to provide financing for more homeowners than ever before. Automated cars, increased streetcar adoption, high-speed rail, and a greatly reduced need for traditional parking have the potential to completely transform both where and how new developments are designed, and how existing parking facilities are repurposed. We acquired Au Bon Pain in 2021 and bellagreen in 2022 after recognizing the opportunity to turnaround brands that didn’t weather the pandemic as well or were looking to divest.

The next generation of professionals has a different attitude about work, and technology is rapidly changing how we design. In addition, the brand implemented a new training platform in 2021, 1Huddle, an interactive training system that digitally gamifies new material to engage team members while also using repetition techniques to improve information recall.   Young companies that focus on new ideas and ways of doing things while breaking from historical norms will have opportunities to disrupt in innovative ways and will be uniquely positioned to establish themselves as leaders in the transformation that we believe we are all about to experience.
