The F&B sector is difficult. Making a small fortune in the restaurant biz always includes starting with a large fortune. PBPB may have started with a worthy concept but their management is not capable of expanding the concept to other markets.

PBPB is not losing money but they are already showing a decrease in same store sales. If they are only making .49c this year, at a 20X PE ratio the stock is worth about $10. So it's not exactly oversold. If you want to play a stock with better growth in this sector I would play NDLS. Better company

I'm considering. Cautious because the drop was so sudden, so precipitous, and so uncharacteristic of this stock. That's what always puzzles me about investors. I didn't see the word 'losses' anywhere, just that 'profits' weren't what had been hoped for.

As I always note: Sometimes investors are goofier than people.

Re: #32: @TOP1 - Potbelly Plans To Grow More Than Just Customers'

So they raised, at minimum, $105 million in the IPO and they are only planning on 40 units in the next year? Sounds a little lackluster to me. That's less than 1 store per state in the US.

At current revenue, this is a $15 PPS stock. That's my entry point. It's getting closer.

Potbelly is a fast-growing neighborhood sandwich concept offering toasty warm sandwiches, signature salads and other fresh menu items served by engaging people in an environment that reflects the Potbelly brand. Our combination of product, people and place is how we deliver on our passion to be “The Best Place for Lunch.” Our sandwiches, salads and hand-dipped milkshakes are all made fresh to order and our cookies are baked fresh each day. Our employees are trained to engage with our customers in a genuine way to provide a personalized experience. Our shops feature vintage design elements and locally-themed décor inspired by the neighborhood that we believe create a lively atmosphere. Through this combination, we believe we are creating a devoted base of Potbelly fans that return again and again and that we are expanding one sandwich shop at a time. We believe that a key to our past and future success is our culture. It is embodied in The Potbelly Advantage, which is an expression of our Vision, Mission, Passion and Values, and the foundation of everything we do. Our Vision is for our customers to feel that we are their “Neighborhood Sandwich Shop” and to tell others about their great experience. Our Mission is to make people really happy, to make more money and to improve every day. Our Passion is to be “The Best Place for Lunch.” Our Values embody both how we lead and how we behave and form the cornerstone of our culture. We strive to be a fun, friendly and hardworking group of people who enjoy taking care of our customers, while at the same time taking care of each other. We believe executing on The Potbelly Advantage at a high level creates a distinct competitive advantage and drives our operating and financial results, as illustrated by the following: . As of June 30, 2013, we had a domestic base of 286 shops in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Of these, the company operates 280 shops and franchisees operate six shops. In addition, there are 12 franchised shops in the Middle East. Total shop growth was 16.0% over the prior year; . We achieved positive comparable store sales growth in twelve of the last thirteen quarters through our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013 (comparable store sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales of shops open for 15 or more months); . From 2011 to 2012, we increased our total revenue 15.5% to $274.9 million, our adjusted EBITDA 17.6% to $31.5 million, and our net income for the year ended December 30, 2012 to $7.1 million, excluding a $16.9 million non-cash tax benefit as a result of releasing a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets; and . From 2008 to 2012, we increased our shop-level profit margin by 520 basis points to 20.7% (shop-level profit margin measures net shop sales less shop operating expenses as a percentage of net shop sales). Shop-level profit margin is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). --- We were incorporated in Delaware in 2001 as Potbelly Sandwich Works, Inc. and changed our name to Potbelly Corporation in 2002. Our principal executive offices are located at 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, 23rd Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60654, our telephone number at that address is (312) 951-0600 and our internet address is www.potbelly.com.
