Burgerfuel

Hmm... burgerfuel hopes to open 1000 stores in the usa in 8 years....
1000 stores really? I reckon 200 will be an incredible number?
Shake n shack in america only has 63! They are valued at 2.1billion, share price nearly reached $100 at one stage...
So, if burgerfuel could open 1000 stores by 2022 or something, well the market cap would be????

A new store opening, on average, about every three days?

You underestimate the US potential re burger outlets. My favorite, 5 guys and fries, went from about 5 to ~ 1,000 in ~ 9 years, when it commenced franchising in 2003. Is now looking at another 1,500

This excellent article, albeit a tad dated, highlights the potential and some of the downsides ahead for Burgerfuel. "The faster you go, the harder it is to execute."

From my limited knowledge, burgers in the US seem to have a different makeup... a good burger is basically a bun with a thick beef patty (cooked medium/well) and cheese. All the extras are on the side. I am just wondering if the burger fuel type gourmet burger will be seen as a premium burger? I guess they have the population but still an acquired taste for the US market.
What do you guys think?

shouldn't be too much longer before they announce their first US site right? Am I right in assuming it would take about a month from finding a site to opening a store? or a bit longer?

much longer. Months to find a spot. Months to negotiate lease. A month for design and 2 weeks for install. And that's in they have all their tradies/manufacturers lined up like they do in NZ.

Seems this stock bottoms out at early $3 then skyrockets up randomly

that USA Burger is pretty darn good

Good bounce so far today, if there is a reasonable ann for the U S expansion this share will be very hard to value.

ON less than $2.5k turnover. Try getting a reasonable holding without causing the price to skyrocket. And what if you want to sell a reasonable amount - good luck with that.

Issues with its liquidity aside, they are going great.

What do you say is a reasonable holding ?
