Dating back to 2009, Steak 'n Shake has attained 24 consecutive quarters of same-store sales increases. This sales growth has been propelled almost exclusively by a nearly 40 percent cumulative growth in customer traffic.

"This track record of success is fueled by consumers' growing wave of demand surrounding our handcrafted Steakburgers," Jim Flaniken, senior vice president of marketing, said in a release.  "Consumers continue to insist on premium quality ingredients. Steak 'n Shake pioneered the 'better burger' concept and we continue originating exciting, delicious, and unique culinary innovations that keep consumers coming back to us."

Steak 'n Shake's growth streak has been supported by geographic and franchise expansion, as well as the introduction of new restaurant formats. Given Steak 'n Shake's flexibility in design and concepts, the brand is now popular in universities, casinos, airports, turnpike oases, convenience stores, gas stations, shopping centers and other venues.
