Quarter results for two location-based entertainment chains
Both Dave & Buster’s and Chuck E. Cheese’s (CEC Entertainment) have reported their most recent 2009 quarterly financials. The Great Recession is continuing to negatively impact their same stores sales. For their most recent quarter, Dave & Buster’s saw a 10% decline in comparable store sales. CEC faired better with only a 3% decline. Dave & Buster’s is getting hit the hardest with their special event group business sales and CEC’s results show that the severity of the recession varies throughout the country, with the Western region showing the greatest declines and the two worse performing states are California and Florida.
