CHANGING COMPETITIVE DYNAMICS
4/10/2013
Incremental sales layers have been added since 2009 – media spend and national loyalty program in 2010 Traffic growth has slowed from 2.1% in 2010 to 1.8% in 2011 and 0.8% in 2012. (Consensus is seeking +0.9% traffic growth in 2013) If we were to speculate on possible reasons for this: • Privileged position as one of the few healthy QSR options is being challenged
• Casual Dining getting in on the act with competitive price offerings
• Wendy’s upgrading menu, undercutting Panera prices
• McDonald’s moving to McWrap, marketing aggressively, underscores shift in industry focus in response to millennial demands
• Likely that Panera is in the cross hairs of many traditional QSR management teams as a brand to draw ideas from
