The company closed the year with 138 stores, 18 of which are owned and 120 franchises -compared to 136 units in 2020. The investment plan provides for the continuity of store expansion.

This feature led to gains in operational efficiency, as the furnace remained on, without downtime. Thus, the company achieved a high level of productivity. The operation at these levels was only possible thanks to investments in technology in the plants carried out in recent years.
