Separately you know some bonds business model for.
The last really the first twenty years has been brick and mortar units in high traffic venues.
But there are only so many malls and a city -- only so many airports in an area and so.
Partnering with other chains that have larger footprints is a way for us to address one of our biggest.
Strategic challenges which is -- people love us and they want us but they can't get us because there's not a mall near them.
And now that we're with these other -- they'll be able to find three.

In the coming twelve to 24 months but China really needs a dedicated strategy in general they're not as affectionate to suites.
As a culture as these other cultures are so we really want to make sure we get the concept right before we set to really grow in China.

Over 20% I think of -- US store for all just in Texas where your next phase of growth come from in the US vs overseas and if in the US where in the US.
Equal amounts internationally and domestically domestically the mid Atlantic and the northeast -- huge growth markets for -- new York New Jersey.
The general Boston area DC Maryland state -- -- a bond there and there's a high concentration of captured traffic venues there so it's perfect -- franchisees.
Internationally Russia will continue to be a huge growth market as -- Latin America okay.
