Cheddar’s had always been profitable through that it had ever closed a company-owned store and had shown steady increases in sales and customer counts over time. Also it has a source of income from its franchise stores which could grow at a faster rate.

Cheddar’s also had an average EBITDAR of $1,027k which was much higher than its competitor Chili’s which was $723k.
