"Two top Michelin-starred Chinese restaurants sold for £30million to funds owned by Abu Dhabi"yesterday (Times report).Not quite the same as Carl.I know.You pays yer money and you takes yer choice!

CARL hit by a triple whammy today...poor figures from M&S pulling down the retail sector generally...bad figures from The Restaurant Group...and CARL just went ex-dividend.

Everytime I see a Carluccios it is packed with customers,couldnt be busier so why the doom?

[spaceparallax] 09/1/2008 09:48

Presumably, this mornings fall is in sympathy with the poor M&S results.

I see that Altium have today reiterated their Buy stance with 275p target.

[ronmikeh] 04/12/2007 10:28

Glade the results were not bad.Would not like to think how share price would react.

[spaceparallax] 04/12/2007 09:45

Agreed, excellent results that confirm a thriving business.

My only concern is the all Ireland franchise i.e. how it will be handled to ensure that the established strong reputation will be maintained.

[silverfern] 04/12/2007 07:58

Results today set CARL apart from rivals like CPH in my opinion- I don't hold at present.

[spaceparallax] 03/12/2007 09:13

Looks like this has dipped in sympathy with CPH, although I'm not convinced that the analogy is particularly valid.

Am happy to hold and add at this level.

[silverfern] 03/12/2007 08:27

Yep, and I Weouldn't touch CPH with a bargepole after their announcement today

[theophilus] 03/12/2007 07:52

Could move down today in sympathy with Clapham.

News in today from Manchester...

"potentially the best site in the whole billion pound development"

RN,

Thanks for the promising article and particularly for your observations insitu.

Interesting article in Retail Bulletin:



Although the article was written a month ago, trading still seems strong at Carluccios. From my personal observations both the Brunswick Square and Covent Garden branches seem to be doing very well at lunchtimes and evenings.
My office is only 5 minutes from the new St Pancras station and I predict the new restaurant in the station will do extremely well and not just from the custom of rail passengers. There is currently a lack of good restaurants in the Kings Cross/ St Pancras area.
The only reservation I have about the current business model is the opening of the cafes so early in the morning, especially during the winter months. Whenever I hurry past them on the way to the office in central Londonat about 8.30 in the morning, the numbers of staff frequently outnumber the number of customers. Are they actually making much profit at this time of the day?
I took the opportunity during the current share price decline to add to my holding yesterday.

Current gloom makes this an even more attractive proposition - providing that we can maintain our trademark quality.

[spaceparallax] 13/11/2007 11:43

Nice vote of confidence from Innes.
