Durable cash generation supports the REIT payout, deleveraging, opportunistic capex or JV investment, and cushions the business against cyclical rent volatility.

The asset‑light model diversifies revenue away from owned-store rental income, enhances cash flow stability, and provides low-capital growth optionality over the medium term.
