CBRL
GROUP, INC. REPORTS COMPARABLE STORE SALES
FOR
THE FOUR-WEEK PERIOD ENDING DECEMBER 22, 2006
AND
FISCAL JANUARY MONTH-TO-DATE
LEBANON,
Tenn. (January 3, 2007) -- 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, December 22, 2006.
| · |
Comparable
store restaurant sales were down 0.8% from the comparable period last
year, with an approximately 1.0% higher average check due to
approximately
1.0% higher average menu pricing, and
|
| · |
Comparable
store retail sales were up 2.5%.
|
Commenting
on the month-to-date sales results for the Company’s fiscal January period,
which include the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer Michael A. Woodhouse noted, “We believe that the shift
of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays to a Monday this year affected the
timing of our guests’ travel, purchasing and dining-out activities. The negative
impact we saw in the last week of fiscal December has been more than offset
by
the favorable performance in fiscal January to date when comparable store
restaurant and retail sales were up approximately 5% and 15%, respectively,
for
the ten days ending January 1, 2007.”
The
Company cautioned that the sales results for month-to-date fiscal January are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full
five-week fiscal period that ends on
January
26, 2007.
Headquartered
in Lebanon, Tennessee, CBRL Group, Inc. presently operates 552 Cracker Barrel
Old Country Store restaurants and gift shops located in 41 states.
