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.

Welcome to a new month in a year that has felt like a thousand of them! We can at least kick off the month with good numerical news.

It may be slow and steady, but our year-over-year numbers continue to improve. 

When it comes to holiday-weekend-induced sales spikes, it seems what goes up must also come down – but not this time.

Without question, restaurant sales and opening guidance are going to be closely related to number of Covid cases within any given market.

All things considered, August was an awesome month for DC area restaurants.
