Famous Dave's Q4 same-store sales increase

Franchisees' same-store sales increased 1.1% as the company refranchised more units and added delivery.

But the former NFL quarterback will still be a company spokesman.

The owner of Bravo Cucina Italiana and Brio Tuscan Grille will be acquired in an all-cash deal.

The weather, and perhaps the Olympics, led to a 0.8% decline in same-store sales.

Among the quarter's winners and losers, casual dining takes gold, says RB's The Bottom Line.

A drop in the concept's comps and traffic is prompting the move.

The chain says it will pour $1.5 million into those areas this year.

The chain attributes part of its success to the addition of queso blanco to its menu.

The departure of Mark Crumpacker is a clear indication of where the fast-casual chain is headed, says RB's The Bottom Line.
