POST FALLS, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Command Center, Inc. (OTCBB: CCNI - News), an emerging provider of on-demand, reliable labor solutions, today announced revenue of $4.52 million for the four-week reporting period of October 2009. This represents the best four-week revenue period for the company in 2009.
The company noted that average weekly revenue of $1.13 million in October was the highest amount recorded during any month in 2009, and that October is Command’s third straight month of average weekly revenue exceeding $1 million.
Revenue for the 49 company-owned stores in October ’09 was down from the $6.47 million recorded by the 63 company-owned stores in October ’08.
“We are extremely pleased and encouraged by the steady improvement in weekly and monthly sales,” said Command’s Chairman and CEO, Glenn Welstad. “We are seeing the return of many customers who have not used our services in several months, supporting our belief that we are beginning to experience the upswing in our sector of the economy. Command now has a solid base of high-performing stores, and we will be adding new stores only in those areas of the country where there is opportunity for immediate and continuing profitability. Expanding our business activities with large local businesses and national accounts gives us the advantage of choosing new locations strategically; each new branch store starts off with greater visibility in the community and provides a more predictable source of core business.”
Mr. Welstad added that Command is being appreciated in the marketplace as a more diversified company that can service a wider range of needs in the temporary labor sector, and, as a result, he “expects to increase the volume of national account business in this fourth quarter and throughout 2010.”
