SAN ANTONIO (Restaurant News Release) Tootie Pie Company, Inc. (OTCBB: TOOT) announced that unit sales for August 2010 were up 10%, versus August, 2009.
“We are experiencing positive sales trends in all of our sales channels. This is especially encouraging as we head into the ever important upcoming holiday season, where up to 60% of our annual sales will occur,” said Don Merrill, President & CEO.
The Company had previously reported sales increases for nine months in a row in July; and August would be the tenth consecutive month of sales increase.
