In the three month period ending in June 29th the company had $36,473,000 versus last year at the same time when they made $39,193,000 one reason for the different in revenue is because two of their restaurants have since closed down it total the company saw a 2.2% decrease. We have already seen how retail stores such as Macy's and H&M have taken a hit over the slow growing economy, its only right that restaurants would fall in line. People aren't splurging on going out to eat any more because simply they don't have the money or are just too scared to spend the money.
