Replay transcript excerpt
WEBVTT 00:00:00.031 -- 00:00:05.357 leases being signed for projects for next year gives us even more confidence 00:00:05.357 -- 00:00:08.081 in being able to accelerate 00:00:08.081 -- 00:00:12.646 far beyond the 10 that we have this year. We're not giving a firm number yet for next 00:00:12.646 -- 00:00:18.333 year. Hope to do that in the upcoming months, but can safely say 00:00:18.333 -- 00:00:21.697 you'll see some nice growth off of the 10. 00:00:21.697 -- 00:00:24.278 Great. I appreciate 00:00:24.821 -- 00:00:27.382 it. Yeah, thank you. 00:00:27.925 -- 00:00:30.969 The next question is from Andy Barish from Jefferies. 00:00:30.969 -- 00:00:33.289 Please go ahead. 00:00:33.451 -- 00:00:35.834 Hey, good afternoon, guys. 00:00:35.834 -- 00:00:39.418 Anything other than just the backdrop that you described? 00:00:39.418 -- 00:00:43.543 I mean, March seemed to fall off. Was 00:00:43.543 -- 00:00:48.569 it just Mango Habanero kind of ran its course or anything you can point 00:00:48.569 -- 00:00:53.955 to on the month of March that you didn't address in your prepared 00:00:53.955 -- 00:00:55.634 remarks? 00:00:55.634 -- 00:00:58.758 Yeah, the one additional would be the weather. 00:00:58.758 -- 00:01:04.006 And I always hate to bring up Mother Nature, but given the prominence of Southern 00:01:04.006 -- 00:01:08.372 California, usually I know weather isn't a big thing in California. 00:01:08.372 -- 00:01:12.077 But in March, we had actually about three weeks of rain. 00:01:12.077 -- 00:01:17.205 And you always see an impact, particularly on our lunch business when it's raining, a 00:01:17.205 -- 00:01:19.428 little bit on our dinner business, but it's pronounced. 00:01:19.428 -- 00:01:24.018 And so that would be the other piece that was a true headwind in March. 00:...
