Despite the challenges of the last several months, we have found a number of reasons to celebrate. Many of those reasons are our people. Some real heroes emerged who took on additional responsibilities and did what had to be done.

They generated the ideas that are fueling our growth. They turned those ideas into action. They are now turning that action into excitement at each of our brands.

I celebrate their ingenuity, inventiveness and creativity. Their courage, tenacity and confidence. Their belief in their brands and one another. I celebrate the extremely long hours they worked for this company. I celebrate their belief and trust during a very tough time.

I also celebrate the new people who have come to this company, excited to be a part of our next wave of growth and opportunity.

And, I celebrate the incredible attitude that our people have shown in putting their focus not on themselves, but on our guests and franchise partners.
