Good morning, Cincinnati. Here are the five business stories you need to know to kickstart your day.

“Let’s see what that “if” relies upon. The Morgans “base case” is that chief burrito Steven Marks will grow the business to 1000 restaurants in Australia (there are currently 186, and the 20-year target would match McDonald’s). That’s their base case, with share target at $30.80. The “bullish scenario” would see Guzman y Gomez have 500 stores in the United States over the long term (they currently have four, in Chicago). What are Morgans’ Alexander Mees and Billy Boulton smoking?” Has the market hubris struck again? Elevating a good scaleable buisnes to the panhenon of the business gods ? The domestic forecast was always optimistic ( extremely so ) Always been wary of IPO that predicate value to an “if” Good business , scaleable etc and only 1300 more units to go in fast time to make this “IF” a reality , Not an observation on an extremely capable GYG team , just the headwinds that a great story PR strategy can create in raising capital , Retail Doctor Group

Brilliant to hear that longtime Better Business Act coalition member, Virgin, has joined Greene King, Greggs and Timpson in the Fair Chance Business Alliance – promoting the employment of ex-offenders. In both a compassionate and strategic move for businesses, Richard Branson explains how hiring ex-offenders is a win-win – reducing reoffending rates, addressing staff shortages and unlocking a huge pool of untapped talent. Businesses have the power to make real change in society, but mandatory adoption is not enough. We need to see all UK businesses acting as a force for good, working together to tackle the issues society faces. This is why the Better Business Act is calling for an amendment to Section 172 of the Companies Act, which sets out the ‘job description’ for company directors to ensure they align social and environmental impact with shareholder returns.
