Sales for the RocoMamas chain, which was acquired with effect from 1 March
2015, are included in the group’s total restaurant sales. Customer response to
the new brand has been particularly pleasing and in the past six months 22
RocoMamas outlets have been opened locally and one in Namibia, bringing the
restaurant base to 32.
Chief executive, Pierre van Tonder, said the group delivered a solid performance
in a trading environment which became increasingly difficult in the latter stages of
the 2015 calendar year and affected festive season sales.
“Panarottis produced a strong performance while other brands were impacted by
the slowdown in middle-income spending. The Hussar Grill performed well as its
higher income target customer proved more resilient to the current economic
challenges.”
“Despite the slowing economy, the group has continued to expand its presence
across all brands locally and offshore, opening a net 46 stores in South Africa
and 4 in the international operations in the past six months.”
The financial information in this sales update has not been reviewed or reported
on by the group’s independent auditor. Spur Corporation’s interim results for the
six months ended 31 December 2015 will be released on SENS on 25 February
2016.
