CBRL
GROUP, INC. REPORTS MARCH COMPARABLE STORE SALES
LEBANON,
Tenn. (March 28, 2006) -- CBRL Group, Inc. (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, March 24, 2006. On March 17, 2006, the Company announced its intention
to divest itself of its wholly-owned Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc. (“Logan’s”)
subsidiary. In accordance with federal securities laws, the Company has
discontinued reporting of Logan’s sales results.
| · |
Comparable
store restaurant sales in fiscal March were down 2.1%, with an
approximately 2.2% higher average check, including approximately
2.4%
higher average menu pricing, and
|
| · |
Comparable
store retail sales in March were down 12.9%.
|
The
Company noted that comparable sales in fiscal March were unfavorably affected
by
a shift in the timing of Easter, which is three weeks later this year than
last
year. The Company estimated that Cracker Barrel’s comparable store sales in
fiscal March were unfavorably affected by approximately 1-1.5% in restaurant
sales and 5-6% in retail sales as a result of this shift.
Headquartered
in Lebanon, Tennessee, CBRL Group, Inc. presently operates 537 Cracker Barrel
Old Country Store restaurants and gift shops located in 41 states and 134
company-operated and 25 franchised Logan’s Roadhouse®
restaurants in 20 states.
