Country Style Cooking Restaurant Chain Announces Preliminary Second Quarter 2015 Results
CHONGQING, China, July 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Country Style Cooking Restaurant Chain Co., Ltd (NYSE: CCSC) ("Country Style Cooking" or the "Company"), a fast-growing quick service restaurant chain in China, today announced preliminary second quarter 2015 results.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company opened 5 new restaurants, bringing the total net restaurant count to 346, compared to a total restaurant count of 317 as of June 30, 2014. The new openings include 2 restaurants under the brand name "Mr. Rice." The Company deliberately slowed down its store opening pace in the second quarter as it focused on the redesign of visual identity system to enhance brand recognition. The redesign is scheduled for completion in July.
The Company currently anticipates second quarter 2015 net revenue to be approximately RMB348 million, representing year-over-year growth of around 0.7%. The lower than expected revenue was mainly due to a lower number of store openings and single digit negative same store sales in the second quarter.
Country Style Cooking plans to report its second quarter 2015 results in mid August.
