(RTTNews) - J & J Snack Foods Corp. (JJSF), Monday reported second-quarter net earnings of $13.5 million or $0.72 per share, up from $12.7 million or $0.67 per share last year.

Sales increased 2 percent to $205.3 million from $201.3 million in last year's second quarter.

Chief Executive Gerald Shreiber said, "Even though our sales and earnings were up for the quarter, we were impacted by the severe weather during the period. It appears that the "thaw into spring" has helped spring our sales back to higher levels as sales for our first three weeks of April were up 8% over our sales for the first three weeks of last year's April."
