Even though the past couple of weeks have shown us that we are riding a series of mini peaks and valleys, it is still always nice to send out this note when we get to report a peak!

In the last few days of October, Minneapolis/St. Paul’s open restaurant sales caught up to open restaurant sales nationally.

Here with our weekly update because we know our sales numbers are exactly the results everyone has been waiting for today.

From the onset of Covid-19, October was the first month that we did not beat the prior month in terms of average open restaurant sales.

Little dip in the numbers this week across the board. We’ve seen this impact a few times before, as Covid cases go up our sales numbers tend to contract.

Just a short note today because despite some bumps and dips, the numbers overall continue to hold really steady.

Things are holding relatively steady across each of our views – a few bumps and dips – but overall looking pretty stable.

Minneapolis/St. Pauls’s restaurants made a lot of progress between August and September, in looking at year-over-year open restaurant sales.

For the first time in a few months our September numbers did not show an increase over the previous month.

The road to full recovery is a long one, but a lot of resiliency and toughness has played out within these trend lines and that is worth taking a minute to recognize and celebrate.
