Updating our Q4E18 Kalinowski Fast-Casual Same-Store Sales Index

By Mark Kalinowski Published on November 11, 2018 at 12:00 AM

With this report, we increase our data-driven Kalinowski Fast-Casual Index for Q4E from +3.5% to +4.0%. This 50 basis-point increase is based on our latest proprietary checks/data as regards same-store sales performance so far for this segment during October. So far this year, October 2018 looks to have been roughly tied as the thirdbest month during 2018 so far for fast-casual segment same-store sales. (We point out that as regards Q4 and 2018 as a whole, we still have November and December to go, of course.)
