Monk's Pub saw a 20.7% increase in total sales from September 2012 compared to September 2011, higher than the 7.8% increase in their local market and the 1.2% national average. This increase was driven by both higher transaction numbers, which were up 13.6% compared to a 9% increase locally, and a higher average check, which rose 6.2% versus a 1.1% decrease on average. Monthly sales trends over the summer also outperformed both the local and national averages, with total sales increases ranging from 4% to 34% month over month.
