2017, what a year it was for the restaurant industry. We saw our share of ups and downs having fought through hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. The stock market hit record highs with increased valuations of some restaurant stocks. There were many major acquisitions throughout the industry.
Mirus also had a busy year. This 2017 Year in Review details some of the highlights from the year.

Mirus Clients
Mirus clients continued to outperform the industry in 2017. For the past year, reports have been consistently detailing the decline in restaurant same-store sales. Mirus reporting clients, as a group, have not suffered this fate. We believe that our clients outperform their peer groups because they have become more data driven in their decision making and management. They work smarter, and beat their competition.
We welcomed many new Mirus clients in 2017 including:
- Native Grill & Wings
- Del Frisco's Restaurant Group
- Bobby Cox Companies
- True Foods Kitchen
- Manna Development Corporation (Panera Franchisee)
