a bigger business, and every transaction is going to be more profitable than it currently is today.

I love the fact that our culture has really adopted this mantra of we're going to be better tomorrow than we were today.

And the same thing is true on the bottom line.

So that's where we're headed.

And I'm confident as we continue to put transactions into the business, customers continue to experience the Starbucks experience.

They see the tremendous value.

It will flow to the bottom line and it will reward everybody accordingly.

You know, we basically believe we want to do it at the investor day so that we can give people a comprehensive look of where we're going, not just for the fiscal year 26, but rather a long-term look on how we're resetting this business up for success.

You know, I believe the reason why I'm here, why our leadership team is here, is not about what happens next week or, frankly, next month.

It is about where we are three years from now.

So I'm optimistic about what's going to happen in the short term.

But we want to use this Investor Day to really give people guidance on where we see this business growing in the future.

So we'll see everybody in late January.

And I think we've got a great story to share with people.

And I look forward to seeing people there.

Yeah, so we're early days in the protein platform, but it's proving to be very incremental, which is terrific to see.

One of the best early indicators is our rewards customers that had some low frequency, we're seeing their frequency pick up.

We're also seeing our awareness build.

And as the awareness builds and we see people try, whether it's a protein cold foam or

or the protein latte execution.
