Tim Hortons continues to struggle
Restaurant Brands International announced that 96 percent of its stores were open as of September amid an ongoing health crisis, as it reported its concepts’ preliminary third quarter sales. Popeyes posted comp(arable) sales growth of 17.4 percent compared to last year, with a 19.7-percent year-over-year increase in the US and 0.3-percent decrease at international stores. Popeyes’ US top-line growth continues to be impressive, in large part due to its consistency on releasing LTOs and the popularity of its Chicken Sandwich.
