Additionally, our ongoing menu innovation and a solid promotional calendar contributed to our strong growth. We are excited about the successful implementation of our frozen yogurt program that has met with an enthusiastic response by our franchise partners and guests. I am pleased to report this positive same caf? sales growth, building on the same caf? sales increase of 7.2% for the recently completed 2011 calendar year.
