Comparable-store sales at company-owned Sbarro units declined 5.1 percent for the second quarter ended June 28, the company has announced. Domestic franchise comps declined 4.5 percent while international franchise comparable-unit sales declined 23.2 percent, primarily due to the strengthening of the dollar relative to virtually all foreign currencies.
Without consideration for foreign currency fluctuations, the international franchise comparable-unit sales decline would have been 4.5 percent.
