Casual Dining Down But NOT Forgotten
July 2, 2007
A Shift in Dining Scene Nicks a Once-Hot Chain | online.wsj.com
Casual Dining (both fast casual and regular casual) has been on the downswing fonce before the beginning of the year; some brands even longer. So, what's the problem here? Is it too late? If not, when will it change around? These are the questions that I get asked all the time with my clients when I am involved with a conference call. My belief is that Casual Dining across the country will be in a stale mate until their is a change in the economy through elections (in 2008). People today, many my own family members still enjoy going to the same Casual Dining Restaurants that they have always gone to. The problem: they just don't go as often. The disposable income isn't there like it was last year and with the increased gas prices customers pocket books have been hurt. Customers today have to make choices that they didn't necessarily have to make before.
