April 29, 2013

McAlister's Deli announced a same-store sales increase of 5 percent during the first quarter of 2013, marking the brand's 11th straight quarter of positive sales growth. Comp sales were driven primarily by an increase in entrée sales, according to a press release.

"McAlister's continued growth not only highlights the strength of the brand, but also the commitment of our franchisees to offer great food and genuine hospitality — our recipe for success," said Frank Paci, McAlister's Deli president and CEO. "Our guests are very loyal and love our diverse menu, which allows us to continue to expand across the U.S."

In addition to reporting comparable sales growth, McAlister's announced the opening of four new restaurants in the first quarter and is expected to open 11 additional restaurants this year.
