Branch Performance: Why Some Locations Work and Others Don't

Performance variation is not market-driven. It's operating discipline.

It's execution.

This is where it breaks

What happens is one branch carries margin while others discount to hit volume — and no one sees the gap until it's embedded in the cost structure.

If performance isn't consistent, scale makes it worse.

If this isn't measured by branch, the gap won't close.
