Our June Consumer Spending Survey found a mixed bag for consumer spending
going forward. Overall spending continues to improve, but more consumer dollars are flowing
into the gas tank - at least temporarily dampening the recovery for restaurants.
In May and June we surveyed consumers on their dining habits to determine - among other
things - which restaurant chains are recovering fastest and which are still lagging behind.
The first survey was conducted May 14-20 (n=1,228) and the second June 1-10 (n=2,706).
