Nothing Bundt Cakes presents a dramatically larger and faster-growing total addressable market. With 660 units (643 franchised) and 18.6% year-over-year unit growth, you’re selling into a system that’s actively expanding—every new location is a fresh software seat. The $1.48M AUV means franchisees have real operating budgets and can justify spending on POS, scheduling, or marketing automation that drives measurable ROI. In contrast, Bahama Buck’s is flat at 115 units with zero growth and half the per-unit revenue. Even if you win every store, the revenue ceiling is low, and there’s no tailwind from new openings to sustain pipeline.
