Families with Kids Eating out a Little more, says Research Group
Press release from the issuing company
Friday, November 12th, 2010
Restaurant visits from families with kids increased this past summer after three years of traffic declines, according to research firm The NPD Group. That would be a little piece of good news for an industry seeking to pull itself out of a challenging period.
NPD reported this week that visits by parties with kids increased by 1 percent in the quarter ending August 2010. That is key, because families or parties with kids accounted for 14 billion meals and snacks and $70 billion in sales last year.
