  • Infogroup Business Listing File
    Infogroup Business Listing File Company location: Omaha, Nebraska Web address: www.infousa.com Description: Infogroup collects information on approximately 11 million private and public US companies. Individual businesses are located by address geocoding—not all will have an exact location. The Esri geocoder integrates an address-based approach with more than eighty-one million residential and commercial U.S. address records from the NAVTEQ Point Addressing database. This database maps street addresses to a physical location so each address is a fixed point and not an interpolation from an address range. The geocoder uses address locators in a cascading fallback approach to ensure a match for as many records as possible. The primary locator utilizes the NAVTEQ Point Addressing database. The secondary locator utilizes the NAVTEQ Street Address Range database. Records that did not match fall back to the geocode provided by Infogroup. Businesses can be retrieved by their Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) as well as by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and Location. The Infogroup Business File can be used for locating both competitors and marketing opportunities. This data is current as of July 2011. Fields: Note: Using the Identify a Business tool , click on a business in your map area to see these fields for an individual business. Fields marked in blue below are not visible in the business layer attribute table or exportable from Business Analyst. Company Name (Actual field name=CONAME) – The legal, incorporated business name. Example: ESRI, AT&T, IBM. Address – Physical address of location. The address field cannot be used for direct mailing purposes.

From the responses, first choices were weighted 3 points, second choices 2 points and third choice one point then summed up to generate weighted responses as to which vendors were the most popular and in demand for any vacant spaces. Thai Express was by far the most popular in first place with 56 points, approximately 1.6 times as many points as the second highest choice, Freshii with 34 points. McDonald’s was the third highest choice with 28 points. Other interest names and options pop up as well; Taco Bell comes in fourth place with 25 points and would be a worthwhile replacement for Taco Time as they both do Mexican fast food.

  • View Annual Report
    Dear shareholders: First and foremost, I wish to personally thank each one of MTY’s franchisees, business partners and shareholders for their continuous support and contribution to our success in 2014. I truly appreciate and thank you for being a part of our growing family. In my letter last year, I indicated that 2014 would be a challenging year for MTY; our apprehensions did materialize and were compounded by the effect of adverse weather during the first half of 2014. Strong competitive pressure and a sluggish economy in many regions drove our same store sales down for a second straight year. We also saw 175 outlets close during the year, while 145 opened. Despite all its challenges, 2014 brought good news too; MTY closed 3 more acquisitions, adding 167 stores to the network and providing further depth into MTY’s portfolio of brands. Our system sales grew by 22%, reaching $888 million during the year. We expect system sales to exceed $1 billion in 2015 as a result of the recent acquisitions. MTY’s network stands at 2,727 stores at the end of our 2014 fiscal period. In that difficult environment, MTY’s employees executed strategies with discipline and creativity, and our expenses remained well-managed, enabling us to achieve satisfactory results. Excluding the impact of a one-time impairment charge taken on one of our trademarks, the income attributable to shareholder would have been up by 6% this year. Our EPS stood at $1.33 per share, a slight decline compared to 2013. Cash flows from operations were strong again during 2014, growing by 22% over last year.
