Carluccio's
Serves Up Profit Rise After IPO |
Italian
restaurant chain Carluccio's served up a 21 percent rise in adjusted
pretax profit recently in the first 6 months since listing on
London's junior Alternative Investment Market in December.
Carluccio's
which targets prime locations for its Italian pasta and coffee
restaurants said it had made an adjusted pretax profit of 2 million
pounds in the 26 weeks to March 26 up from 1.6 million a year ago, on
turnover of 21.6 million pounds.
Executive
Chairman Stephen Gee said the company would continue to look to open
more stores in Britain, and trading since March had remained on
course to meet the firm's expectations.
