Nah I don't think it'll take 37 years. Dave and Busters is a different situation, it has no vertical integration whatsoever and low growth.
Whereas AMFE has both of those things in spades. Look at how they 'monetized' 3 cafes to produce 10M$/year in distribution, in just Canada. The potential here is much greater than Dave and Busters, and I would anticipate S&L to reach 1B in market cap before 100 locations.
All that I'm saying regarding the Starbucks comparison is that you can't project TOO far into the future. The business plan right now is clear, and it gets us to a couple hundred locations, a great distribution business, and a self-publishing arm, altogether worth a couple billion I would say in a few years. Going from there to 10s of billions is a DIFFERENT story. Very few companies are able to reach thousands of locations or 10s of billions in revenue. It's not easy.
Is it impossible? NO! Is it something any reasonable investor can be thinking about too much at this stage? No as well...I'm AWARE of that potential and it's a great additional upside, but my liking of AMFE is absolutely not contingent upon them reaching 10s or 100s of billions in market cap which only a handful of companies around the world ever reach. 1-10B $ market cap is amply enough for me, and I see a CLEAR path to reach it. That's already PHENOMENAL given that we're valued 50,000,000$ today.
