Fast facts the Fool way.

On Nov. 1, Caribou Coffee (NASDAQ:CBOU) released third-quarter earnings for the period ended Oct. 1.

  • The opening of 72 net new company-owned coffeehouses during the last twelve months led to a revenue growth of 17.1%.

  • The ubiquitous "other revenue" (made up of product sales and franchise-related revenue) did pretty well, growing 21.5%.

  • Expenses were up across the board, leading to lower margins and a wider loss than last year.
