LOS ANGELES — Comparable-store sales at California Pizza Kitchen rose 7.5 percent for its third quarter, ended Sept. 26, 2004. For the past 18 months, comp-sales are up 8.7 percent.
According to a news release, revenues for the period were $106.1 million, up more than 12 percent over last year's tally of $93.1 million.
The company expects some one-time charges incurred during the period (including three store closures and some anticipated legal resolutions) will have a small impact on earnings.
