Same-store sales roundup

Texas Roadhouse: Sales at restaurants open at least a year increased 1.2 percent at company restaurants and 0.5 percent at franchise restaurants during the quarter.

Panera: The company said that during the second quarter, systemwide same-store sales, for stores open at least one year, grew 3.2 percent: 3.7 percent in company-owned locations and 3 percent in franchise operated units.

Same store revenues (revenues earned in Company-operated stores open for the entirety of both periods) in the Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership division increased 9.1% during the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. Same store revenues also increased 6.0% for Aaron’s Sales & Lease Ownership stores open over two years at the end of June 2006.

IHOP: Year-over-year same-store sales growth was a respectable 3.1% for the quarter, driven by increased traffic. Promotions such as the Cinn-A-Stack definitely appear to be working for IHOP, and the company has three more planned for the year, including the current funnel cake-related campaign.

Dominos: The same-store sales slide was made up of a 3.2 percent decline at U.S. company-owned stores and 5.2 percent drop at franchised stores. According to a regulatory filing, domestic comps rose 6.9 percent in the same period last year.

International second-quarter comps rose 5.7 percent compared to an increase of 7.8 percent last year. The increase marks the fiftieth-consecutive quarter Domino’s has enjoyed international comps growth.

Overall revenue for the period declined 5.5 percent, a decline that Domino’s attributed to lower domestic distribution revenues tied to lower food prices and volumes at domestic franchise stores.

Lone Star Steakhouse: The company’s sales at the same stores fell .3 percent and the average check decreased 3.1 percent, while the number of customers increased 2.8 percent. The company has closed 33 underperforming Lone Star restaurants in the first six months of 2006.

McDonald’s: Comparable or same-store sales, a widely used industry gauge of performance, rose 5.5 percent over a year ago, led by a 6.3 percent increase in Europe. U.S. comparable sales gained 4.2 percent despite the flop of its new spicy chicken sandwich, which is being pulled from the menu.

Frisch’s Restaurants: During the year, the company’s Big Boy restaurants had an unspecified same-store sales increase, while the company’s Golden Corral buffet-style restaurants saw a 6.5 percent same-store sales decline.

Yum: For the quarter, Taco Bell posted U.S. same-store sales growth of 5 percent and KFC was up 2 percent. Pizza Hut was down 7 percent.
