SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tootie Pie
Company, Inc. (OTCQB: TOOT) announced that its January 2012 same-store sales for its five Tootie
Pie Gourmet Cafes were up 23% over January
2011. The Company also extended its consecutive monthly
sales increases to 27 with sales increases in January.
Overall U.S. restaurant same-store sales were up an average of
2-3% for January, according to a recent Dow Jones
story.
"This is our first opportunity to make same-store comparisons
and the results show that, given just a short period of time, our
Cafe model is working," said Don
Merrill, President & CEO. "Customer surveys, from two
different independent sources, indicate an almost 90% 'would
recommend' on our Cafes and, considering we have really only been
in this business for a year, I think that is outstanding."
The Company plans to open two additional Cafes in the coming
weeks.
