We plan on continuing to grow and be a successful and profitable company. We always have been a debt free company, as well as a charitable member of the community, state, and country. We do not plan to change that aspect of our business. Each of our establishments have a planned budget for special events for good causes that they draw from that does not affect their bonuses, if applicable. Our success is a direct correlation of our associates, and we are happy they continue to succeed with us.

Because of our expansion into TV, snacks, and moonlight mixers in 2013/2014, we are looking to sit back and grow our business in 2015, though we are always open to adding profitable companies with room for growth. We are currently sitting on $11.52B in cash, which we utilize rather than borrowing when we wish to expand or build.
