The early case-study in Sevenoaks shows the concept launched with a clear proposition (compact store, core menu, prime location). The company is embedding this as part of its broader growth push.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the format doesn\u2019t eliminate the core retail risks: location selection, operating efficiency, maintaining brand consistency, avoiding cannibalisation, and navigating macroeconomic headwinds.
