Burlington / VT. (be) Marking 17 consecutive quarters of growth, Bruegger´s Enterprises Inc. announced second quarter system-wide gross sales of 46,14 million USD; a 11,3 percent rise over 41,46 million USD for the same period in 2007. Revenue for comparable sales grew 2,9 percent at company locations and 3,1 percent system-wide for the second quarter ending July 08, 2008.
«Bruegger´s solid performance during a challenging second quarter directly relates to what we offer our guests and how well it resonates with them», said Chief Executive Officer James J. Greco. «At Bruegger´s, we offer fresh, wholesome meals at fair prices in a comfortable setting with memorable service, and our guests appreciate that given the current economic climate impacted by rising energy and food costs». The company also noted that sales during the quarter were negatively affected by flooding in Iowa that closed three bakeries and a Michigan bakery closed due to fire.
During the second quarter, Bruegger´s introduced an array of new menu items. Also during the second quarter, Bruegger´s opened a corporate bakery near Philadelphia in Haverford, Pennsylvania as well as a franchise-operated bakery in Agoura Hills, California bringing the total to 280 bakeries in 22 states and the District of Columbia. New bakery expansion will continue throughout the year in existing markets across the country with 14 bakeries set to open in Q3/2008.
