market cap's around 40m on this one. even the perception of growth can send this one up nicely

[junkHustler]

I bought in today a bit. I will likely put through a few more buys as I see the stock trend stabilize. An OS of 8M is peanuts and I like them peanuts.

[jt6455]

Thanks. Not many shares in this one trying to accumulate quickly.

[junkHustler]

Great. Thanks for the link.

Here is another one that alsot confirms a significant position being held by institutions.

How did you come about that info? Just curious.

[jt6455]

Institutions are accumulating this little gem 40% if I remember correctly. FYI

[deadjim]

Would love some market volatility to help me snag more of this.. This looks like a trend from hell in here.. We'll see

[jt6455]

Been accumulating this for a few weeks now. With the tiny OS I can't help but think this might be another Chipotle in the making.

[MoneyMan]

Solid company here.

The Roman pizza, an assortment of crisp bacon, yellow onions, diced tomatoes and a hint of spice. Finally, the Italian favorite, Meatball pizza which has a generous portion of Pizza Inn's marinated Italian meatballs accompanied by chopped green peppers. To top it off, all three pizza crusts are lightly brushed with a rosemary and garlic infused oil, then topped with mozzarella cheese. As the Italians would say…DELIZIOSO!

"When you combine the three new pizzas with rustic Italian taste and an incredible trip to Italy, it all adds up to one of our greatest summer promotions ever."

For more than 50 years, Pizza Inn has provided consumers with a variety of specialty and traditional handcrafted pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts in a dine-in buffet format with delivery and carryout. The company popularized a unique thin crackery crust that is made from scratch everyday and has since become the signature product offering.

Had some Pizza Inn pizza on Saturday. Traveling through a small town in central texas. One of their express stores. Girl working was very friendly and she just put out fresh pizza. Typically they sell small size ready made pizzas in those settings.

I really like the taste and feel it is in the same class as the big boys. There are many local small pizza places that just do not stand up to a Pizza Hut or Dominos, but Pizza Inn certainly does.

[MoneyMan]

Nice action here, if we break 2.20 we could be off to $3

[MoneyMan]

Nice news flow as of late. I still need word of another company owned buffet opening to feel comfortable we could see a run of another dollar or two.

Pizza Inn, Inc. Reports Results for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2010

http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/globenewswire/183973.htm

Feb 9, 2010 19:23:44 (ET)

THE COLONY, Texas, Feb 9, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Pizza Inn, Inc. (PZZI, Trade ) today reported net income of $0.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for the fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2009, versus net income of $0.1 million, or $0.02 per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Total revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2010 declined to $10.4 million from $11.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2009.

Highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 included:

-- Sales from Company-owned restaurants increased 34%, or $0.2 million, in
the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the
prior fiscal year, primarily due to the opening of a new buffet location
in Ft. Worth, Texas in September, 2009.
-- Comparable domestic buffet restaurant sales decreased 6.3% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior
fiscal year.
-- Chain-wide comparable domestic restaurant sales decreased 7.0% for the
second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior
fiscal year.
-- Franchise revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was relatively
flat to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year at $1.0 million
despite the decline in same store sales due to the recognition of
franchise fees from six new international openings during the current
fiscal quarter compared to one new opening in the same quarter of the
prior fiscal year.
-- For the second consecutive fiscal quarter, there was positive net
restaurant growth.
-- Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement
with Amegy National Bank that provides for a $2.0 million revolving
facility and a $1.0 million term loan facility that provides growth
capital for new company-owned restaurant expansion. The Company
terminated the previous credit facility with CIT.




Charlie Morrison, President and CEO, commented, "Very few companies are exempt from pressures felt in the current economic environment. However, we remain encouraged by the positive net growth in the number of restaurants in the chain year-to-date and expect more openings in the coming months that will continue that trend. At the end of the second quarter, we have a pipeline of over 100 signed development agreements for new restaurants to be opened in both domestic and international markets over the coming years which we believe will further this developing trend of positive unit count growth."

Sorry offline for a few days.

They weathered the storm in 2008 and 2009. With the new incentives for franchisers, you could see new opens hitting alot more frequently. So at 13m market cap, I see huge potential.

Another few corporate owned stores will also increase revenue. Like how they own the distributer, so they get alot of that revenue from each franchise.

[GoGo Girl]

Okey then no talk here, was trying to get some info, im a bartender in fl, have a little $ from life and like to do the stocks, wont to maybe put some $ here:)

[GoGo Girl]

Hi...i see your new to the boards, like to get some info on this...looks good:)What r ur feelings here?

[timhyma]

not ot mention that those that were established over a year ago should be starting to pay now. I'm still looking for the payoff on the international sales.

[MoneyMan]

Quite a few new stores opened since last Q numbers. The lower franchise fees seem to be luring in new operators.
