The IPO provides a liquidity event for existing shareholders (Blackstone, founder) and growth capital for the company. Strong brand momentum, asset-light model, and 20-year same-store sales growth streak support a premium valuation. Monitor IPO pricing relative to the $21-$25 range and first-day trading for demand signals. The UP-C structure and tax receivable agreement create potential future dilution from unit exchanges.
