For Pie Five, system-wide retail sales, which includes franchise and Company-owned restaurants, increased 118% when compared to the same period in the prior year driven by an 64% increase in average units open and a 31% increase in the system-wide average weekly sales. Comparable store sales, which in the second fiscal quarter of 2015 represented only Company-owned restaurants, increased 16.9%. The increase in average weekly sales was due to both the strong sales increase in existing Company-owned restaurants and the higher than average sales levels of new franchised and Company-owned restaurants. Six new franchised restaurants and one new Company-owned restaurant opened in the second quarter fiscal 2015, bringing the fiscal quarter-end restaurant count to 31 Pie Five restaurants.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company signed four new franchise development agreements to develop up to 100 Pie Five restaurants. The Company currently has Pie Five franchise restaurant development commitments for a total of up to 329 restaurants.
