Earlier in February, New York-based Ark Restaurants Corp. reported the financial results for its first quarter that ended on December 28, 2013. Total revenues for the three month period were $32,138,000 versus $31,336,000 for the three months ended December 29, 2012. Company-wide same store sales increased 1.8 percent for the quarter compared to the same period last year.
