Haven't I answered this question 50 times already????
Our selective reading glasses must be on once again!
The new venues (branches) are EXACTLY just that NEW!
Every year I see the same crap as if we don't already know that the new venues have not had enough time to establish a diversified clientele and mature. They need to mature over a year in order to have a as much of an impact as the already established matured branches.
That is why the company continues to PROVE that the established branches continue to show substantial increases in their business year over year. DUH!
