Tuesday, March 28, 2006 Restaurants, caterers and taverns
Total estimated sales of the restaurants, caterers and taverns industry reached $2.9 billion in January, a 7.2% increase over January 2005 on a year-over-year basis. (Data are neither seasonally adjusted, nor adjusted for inflation). A particularly mild winter and favourable economic conditions in January are amongst the factors that have contributed to this result. The largest year-over-year increases, at the provincial level, were recorded in Saskatchewan (+11.9%), Alberta (+10.0%), and Quebec (+9.2%). The year-over-year increase in sales, at the national level, was due to higher sales at limited service (+8.9%) and full service restaurants (+8.4%). These two sectors accounted for 85% of industry sales in January. Available on CANSIM: table 355-0001. Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 2419.
