Where We Are Today…
¹Westfield February 2012 Demographic Report.
While fast food restaurants offer cheap food in cookie-cutter
buildings, themed restaurants offer a good meal, as well as an
experience.
In 2011, there were 19.5 million kids’ parties at restaurants.¹
NPD CREST research finds that kids are eating more healthful
food options than ever before.¹
Children five or younger are most likely to influence restaurant
visits.²
The average visitor stay at a family entertainment center is 2.5
hours, and they typically visit up to 6 times per year.³
