The company has benefitted from enormous growth over the past few years...and it's precisely one of the reasons it may fail in the long run. An unattractive In-And-Out wannabe with terrible signage. Here's my bet: these folks will run the same route as Krispy Kreme: big buzz, big growth, oversaturation & customer burnout.
