		<description><![CDATA[Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. (KKD) recently announced that its President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Kenneth A. May has stepped down from his position citing personal reasons. Mr. May joined the company toward the end of November 2011 and we were encouraged with his appointment given his experience of more than 25 years in the field of retail, brand enhancement and supply chain. We expected Krispy to prosper under his leadership. However, his resignation in such a short span of time comes as a shock for us. The investors were also disappointed; and consequently, the stock price fell 18 cents from the previous day price and closed at $6.84 on Tuesday. James H. Morgan, the Chairman and Chief Executive officer (CEO) of Krispy Kreme has been reinstalled ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry appears well positioned for gradual improvement in the first half of 2012. The global economy had been affected by challenges mainly in the second half of 2011 due to concerns about the nagging sovereign debt issues in Europe and the health of the U.S. economy. While these remain issues, the outlook for the U.S. economy has significantly improved lately. But despite these odds, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in the last few months on the back of modest traffic improvement and the consequent rise in comparable store sales. Easy comparisons from the prior year placed performance of 2011 in a brighter light. Encouraging guidance delivered by most of the companies also indicate a return to solid comps. With some expected turnaround in Greece&#8217;s debt ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (RRGB) reported another solid quarter with fourth-quarter 2011 earnings surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate as it experienced upside in revenue and margin. The company is progressing quite successfully in turning around its business by Project RED, which focuses on revenue growth, expense control and capital deployment. The pace of the company&#8217;s ongoing cost saving initiatives is faster than expected. Moreover, the loyalty program is tremendously successful. Also, the company is experiencing same-store sales growth based on its marketing and promotional activities. In addition, the company&#8217;s focus on franchising, unit growth, store remodeling, investments to improve operational efficiency and enhancing shareholder value also augurs well for its earnings. Hence, we upgrade the stock from Neutral to Outperform. RED ROBIN GOURM (RRGB): Free Stock Analysis Report]]></description>

Within segments, company store revenues jumped 9.8% year over year to $61.6 million, Domestic franchise revenue grew 14.1% to $2.3 million, International franchise revenue escalated 22.4% to $5.4 million, driven by higher royalty revenues, and KK Supply Chain revenues (including sales to company stores) increased 11.7% to $50.3 million, largely driven by price inflation across all major product categories.

However, if we look back at the last few months, restaurant operators managed to post improved results riding on the back of modest traffic improvement and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales.

(RRGB), which currently operates more than 450 restaurants across the United States and Canada, is set to open a new restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland on October 10, 2011. The new restaurant will come up at 8200 Perry Hall Blvd, in the White Marsh Mall. The White Marsh Mall is one of the largest malls in the Baltimore area, with 5 anchor stores and 142 specialty shops. Given the strategic location of this new restaurant, we believe it will drive significant growth in the coming days. Apart from its popular offering of gourmet burgers, entrees, salads and beverages, the menu will offer an interesting variety for children.

This is the fifth of the company’s targeted 7 new openings for fiscal 2011. The other restaurants have already opened in Texas, New Jersey, Florida and Connecticut. The newly opened restaurant spans approximately 8,500 square feet and accommodates around 251 guests. It is located in the Hillsdale Shopping Center, which hosts over 130 stores and is anchored by three department stores (Nordstrom Inc. (JWN), Macy’s Inc (M) and Sears).

		<description><![CDATA[Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. (CBRL) reported fourth quarter 2011 adjusted earnings of 99 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 90 cents. Quarterly earnings exclude a charge of 25 cents related to organizational changes and a new bank facility. On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of 75 cents per share, lower than the year-ago quarter earnings of $1.14 per share. The year-over-year results declined mainly due to higher commodity costs and lower traffic. During the fourth quarter of 2011, total revenue inched up 0.1% year over year to $612.9 million. In fiscal 2011, earnings per share were $3.61 as against $3.62 in the prior fiscal year. Total revenue rose 1.2% to $2.43 billion in fiscal 2011 based on a 0.2% and 0.7% jump in same-store ]]></description>

Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarter over the year-earlier period. In second quarter 2011, most big names in the industry outperformed the Zacks Consensus estimates.

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our long-term Neutral rating for BJ’s Restaurants Inc. (BJRI). While we are optimistic on the company’s unit growth potential and solid same-same restaurant sales, the negative impact from commodity inflation as well as increased competition compel us to remain on the sidelines. We believe BJ’s Restaurants, which owns and operates a chain of high-end casual dining restaurants in the United States, remains well positioned to sustain its growth momentum while generating improved earnings on the back of efficient operations and innovative offerings. The company remains committed to unit growth in 2011 and beyond, and believes that there is room for at least 300 restaurants. Additionally, the company boasts of strong financials with a debt-free balance sheet. However, like all restaurant companies, BJ’s is also susceptible to higher input ]]></description>

Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarter over the year-earlier period. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index (RPI), measuring the health and outlook on the U.S. restaurant industry, was 100.7 in February, up 0.4% from January. The RPI gain in February connotes improvements in same-store sales and customer traffic. The Current Situation Index, which measures comparable-store sales, traffic counts, labor costs and capital expenditures in the restaurant industry, was 99.4 in February, up ]]></description>

(RRGB) reported its fourth quarter 2010 adjusted earnings of 12 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 5 cents. Earnings were up 20% from 10 cents in the year-ago quarter. However, including the effects of restaurant closure charges and executive transition expenses, GAAP net income during the quarter was $2.2 million or 14 cents per share. Results benefited from the upside in revenue driven by comparable sales growth. The company said that total revenues for the fourth quarter rose 5.7% year over year to $192.6 million and inched up slightly from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $192.0 million. Red Robin’s adjusted earnings per share for the full year were 85 cents, down 38.4% year over year. However, on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry finally appears well positioned for gradual improvement in the first half of 2011. The industry had been depressed by extremely tough challenges since the end of 2009 from the economic turmoil that resulted in weak labor and tight credit markets, resulting in lower discretionary spending. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators posted improved results in the recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarters. Encouraging guidance delivered by most of the companies also indicate a return to positive comps. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index, measuring the health and outlook for the U.S. restaurant industry, was 99.9 in November, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our rating on Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc (RRGB), a chain of casual dining restaurants founded in 1969, to Underperform from Neutral. The rating downgrade is based on third quarter 2010 results, which were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate, as the company experienced a rise in cost, negatively impacting margins. The company expects negative same store sales and cost inflation in the fourth quarter of 2010. We thus remain apprehensive regarding the stock in the near term, given eroding margins and lagging same store sales due to a decline in traffic. Additionally, the company suspended its outlook for fiscal 2010 and provided a little insight for 2011, thus projecting a low visibility on the stock. Moreover, the stiff competition from other  resturants like California Pizza Kitchen (CPKI) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Casual dining restaurant operator Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (RRGB) recently reported its second quarter 2010 results. Quarterly earnings of 28 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents and were down 32.0% from 41 cents last year. The second quarter results were hurt as 25.0% of Red Robin restaurants are located in California and Arizona, which are facing the brunt of the economic slowdown. These markets have a high unemployment rate; thus traffic has sagged as budget-constrained consumers are trading down to lower-priced dining options. Quarterly Performance Total revenue in the quarter rose slightly 0.1% year over year to $201.0 million, but was below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $207.0 million. Red Robin’s total revenue comprises restaurant sales (flat from the year ago quarter to $198.0 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second half of 2010 should continue to bring gradual improvements to restaurant industry fundamentals. The industry faced extremely tough challenges through the end of 2009 due to the economic turmoil that resulted in weak labor and tight credit markets, resulting in lower discretionary spending. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales along with a drop in costs, restaurant operators posted improved results in the first half of 2010. We expect the companies to continue delivering better numbers for the remainder of 2010 compared to the year-earlier period. Restaurants have been trying to win back cash-conscious guests who have been reluctant to shell out more disposable income, preferring to dine at home or spend less per meal. Eateries are tweaking ]]></description>

Two months ago, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers had opened another restaurant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This 5,789-square-foot restaurant has a capacity of 206 seats. The company is focusing on rolling out smaller prototype restaurants (nearly of 5,800 square foot) to reduce construction and occupancy costs, and in turn boost returns on capital.

		<description><![CDATA[Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (BWLD), best known for its chicken wings and sports bar, recently posted better-than-expected first-quarter 2010 results, but the soft April comparable-store sales have raised concerns about the company achieving its earnings growth target, which have sent the stock down by $10.01 or 19.6% to $41.00 in after-market trading on Tuesday. Minneapolis, Minnesota, based company, Buffalo Wild Wings, reaffirmed its growth target of 20% in net earnings for fiscal 2010 depending upon the improvement in comparable-store sales and favorable wing costs. Management hinted that comparable-store sales in April dropped 3.7% at company-operated restaurants and 2.4% at franchised locations sending alarm signals. The cost of traditional wings rose 17.2% to $1.91 per pound for the quarter. However, management was quick to indicate that the cost of wings would ]]></description>

After a difficult year, the company now expects a turnaround in 2010 as the economy gradually revives. Red Robin will now emphasize more on brand awareness through a national advertising campaign, and focus on cost control initiatives in fiscal year 2010. Moreover, to enhance the perception of value and drive traffic, the company is remodeling its restaurants. The company now expects revenue to grow between 5.5% and 6.4%, and comparable-store sales to rise between 2.4% and 3.4% in the current fiscal.

The quarterly earnings of 28 cents a share outstripped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents and surged 86.7% from 15 cents delivered in the prior-year quarter. The boost was helped by a 5.7% drop in cost of sales, a 3.3% slide in labor expenses, and a 2.1% dip in other operating costs and expenses. Management now expects first-quarter 2010 earnings between 23 cents and 25 cents a share. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first quarter is 23 cents. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has shown a substantial increase of 15% where 11 out of ]]></description>

The company faces stiff competition from Burger King Holdings Inc. (BKC), Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc. (WEN) and Yum! Brands Inc. (YUM). However, these quick-service operators are faring better than casual dining restaurant chains, such as Cosi Inc. (COSI) and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (RRGB), as cash-strapped consumers are trading towards fast-food centers due to their cheaper dining options. System-wide sales at McDonald’s worldwide restaurants climbed 9.1% in January.

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry has been facing extremely tough challenges due to the ongoing economic turmoil. With a weak labor market, lower discretionary spending and continued credit-market access issues, it may be too early to predict any improvement in the restaurant industry, which is grappling with sluggish consumer demand. Although current economic indicators show some signs of improvement, we believe that the weak labor market will continue to adversely impact the restaurant industry, even several months after the recovery is on track. The downturn has shattered consumer confidence, and it will take time before most people resume their former dining-out habits. Restaurants are trying all means to lure cash-conscious guests. With consumers reluctant to shell out more &#8212; preferring to dine at home or spending less per meal &#8212; eateries are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wendy’s/Arby’s Group Inc. (WEN), one of the leading quick-service restaurant companies, announced the opening of its first franchise restaurant in Singapore. The restaurant was opened in Lau Pa Sat Festival Market. The company plans to open 35 Wendy’s restaurants in Singapore over the next decade. These restaurants will be opened by the Kopitiam Group, the largest food service management company in Singapore. The company signed the franchise agreement with the Group in May 2009. The opening of restaurants in Singapore marks a significant step taken by the company to increase its presence in other emerging global markets. Wendy&#8217;s has outlined a multi-year turnaround plan to improve restaurant operating margins, reinvigorate brands, revitalize comparable-store sales and expand internationally.
