CBRL
GROUP REPORTS FEBRUARY COMPARABLE STORE SALES
LEBANON,
Tenn. (February 27, 2007) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (“CBRL” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
CBRL) today reported comparable store sales for its Cracker Barrel Old Country
Store®
(“Cracker Barrel”) restaurants and gift shops for the four-week period ending
Friday, February 23, 2007.
| · |
Comparable
store restaurant sales were down 1.3% from the comparable period
last
year. The average check increased approximately 1.2% including 1.5%
higher
average menu pricing.
|
| · |
Comparable
store retail sales were up 1.5%.
|
The
Company noted that comparable store restaurant and retail sales in fiscal
February were unfavorably affected by an estimated net effect of approximately
1.5 to 2%, and 3 to 3.5%, respectively, each as a result of winter weather
more
severe this year than last year. The Company also estimated that comparable
store retail sales were unfavorably affected by approximately 0.5 to 1% as
a
result of a shift in timing of a Porch Sale clearance event in one of the
Company’s regions.
Headquartered
in Lebanon, Tennessee, CBRL Group, Inc. presently operates 555 Cracker Barrel
Old Country Store restaurants and gift shops located in 41 states.
