1) In a hypothetical world where mgmt had just sat on its hands for the past five years, I'm guessing the SSS would still be in the low SD%. However, I don't think it's appropriate... login to read the rest -1 view available tags

Very helpful - thanks very much for these answers. A few follow-ups: 1) Can you quantify the contribution of the remodels/D&B Sports refreshes to SSS over 2014-15? Have you done any survey work or other research to confirm... login to read the rest -1 view available tags

Thanks latticework- glad this message board has finally ceased to be a monologue! 1) I believe the acceleration in growth of 2014-15 has been driven by a very well executed investment in revitalizing and expanding the... login to read the rest 2 view available tags

The stock has underperformed restaurant peers by 10-15% YTD, as Hedgeye widely advertised its 'Best Ideas' short pitch on the name, which they published Friday. The pitch lacked substance and was primarily macro focused: Big Box... login to read the rest view available tags

5	member 1/07/15 4:28PM Re: Still cheap 3
Casual dining peers continue to see multiple expansion, preserving PLAY's meaningful relative valuation discount. PLAY, at ~8x 2015 adjusted EBITDA, compares to BJRI/BWLD at ~11x, and CAKE/TXRH at 9-10x. On an absolute value basis, PLAY... login to read the rest view available tags
