Potential whitespace options: In addition to the Southeast, Krystal is willing to expand into markets such as the Midwest and West with the help of experienced franchise partners. The chain is actively seeking multi-unit operators who can contribute to the growth of the iconic brand.

WAITING GAME

Investors are holding onto capital, anticipating potential distress or dislocation in the market. (Read Here)

Holding back: Closed-end funds focused on value-add and opportunistic strategies hold an estimated $300 billion in capital, with investors anticipating favorable investment conditions in the next few years. However, transaction volumes have declined significantly, and uncertainty has led many investors to wait on the sidelines.

Challenging environment: The real estate and investment market are considered one of the most challenging environments to invest in recent history, with many investors waiting for a clearer macroeconomic outlook or potential distress opportunities. Overall, market conditions are cautious and filled with uncertainty.

💰 THE MONEY SHOT

Waiting for clarity: Investors are cautious and hesitant to deploy capital due to the ongoing uncertainty. While the anticipation of favorable investment conditions persists, transaction volumes remain low, and concerns about the economy and high interest rates continue to impact investment decisions.
