21 October 2021 ASX/NZX Restaurant Brands' Grows Third Quarter Sales, Despite COVID-19 Store Closures Restaurant Brands' has delivered solid sales growth for its third quarter.

New Zealand New Zealand third quarter sales were $95.6 million, a 17.5% decrease of $20.3 million due to the Government-mandated COVID-19 store closures during August and September.

However, same store sales grew 9.9%, with KFC, Pizza Hut and Carl's Jr. all continuing to perform strongly. Total year to date sales were $334.9 million. This is an increase of $44.4 million (15.3%) on the prior year and 11.6% on a same store basis.
