Highlight of Business Operations:New and less mature restaurants typically experience higher operating costs in both dollars and percentage of revenue initially when compared to restaurants in the comparable restaurant base. Although the average unit volumes and restaurant level profit margins have performed well on average in recent years, there is no assurance that new restaurants will continue to experience such successes, given the uncertain state of the economy. Our restaurants are currently taking approximately six months or more to reach normalized operating levels due to inefficiencies typically associated with new restaurants. These include operating costs, which are often significantly greater during the first several months of operation. Further, some or all of our less mature restaurants may not attain operating results similar to those of our existing restaurants.
Occupancy costs include fixed rents, contingent rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs. Our occupancy costs generally increase with increases in sales volume from contingent rents or the addition of new restaurants, but decline as a percentage of restaurant revenue as we leverage our fixed costs. In 2011, occupancy costs as a percent of restaurant revenue decreased 10 basis points. Fixed rents for the fiscal year ended 2011 and 2010 were $42.5 million and $40.7 million, respectively, and increased due to the opening of new restaurants. The decrease of occupancy costs as a percent of restaurant revenue related mainly to the leveraging of fixed costs on higher revenue.
In 2010, occupancy costs as a percent of restaurant revenue decreased 10 basis points compared to 2009. This decrease was driven by a 20 basis point decrease in general liability insurance as a percent of restaurant revenue, offset by an increase of fixed rent expense as a percentage of restaurant revenue of 10 basis points. Fixed rents in 2010 were $40.7 million, an increase from $39.2 million in 2009 due to the addition of new restaurants.
We closed none, three, and four restaurants in fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. In 2010 and 2009, one and two, restaurants operating below acceptable profitability levels were closed. In both 2010 and 2009, two restaurants whose leases were not extended or were in need of significant capital improvements that were not projected to provide acceptable returns in the foreseeable future were closed. We recognized charges of $856,000 and $562,000 in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to lease terminations and other closing related costs. The three closed restaurants in 2010 were not part of the impairment charge taken in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. There were no asset impairment charges recognized in 2009.
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically, sales in most of our restaurants have been higher during the summer months and winter holiday season. As a result, our quarterly and annual operating results and comparable restaurant sales may fluctuate significantly as a result of seasonality. Accordingly, results for any one quarter or year are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year, and comparable restaurant sales for any particular future period may decrease.
