Good Times Restaurants Inc. Announces Q2 Sales Increase
GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Good Times Restaurants Inc. (NAS: GTIM) today announced its same store sales for the second fiscal quarter increased 7% and 3.9% for the month of March.
Commenting on the sales increases, President & CEO, Boyd Hoback said, "We are continuing to see some acceleration in our sales from our recent menu initiatives and operational execution and are particularly encouraged by the fact that March comps include colder and wetter weather this year and the calendar shift for Easter in March this year from April last year. We've been able to continue our momentum in the quarter without the benefit of any meaningful media advertising, which didn't begin until the last week of March."
The Company reported that it has had 11 consecutive quarters of same store sales increases, including a cumulative increase of 20% in the second quarter for the last three years. Hoback added, "We hope to be able to continue our sales growth the rest of this year as we begin our first television advertising we've had in about three years and as both breakfast and our new All Natural Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders continue to do extremely well. The sales increases, improvement in our cash flow from operations and the recent repayment of all of our debt allow us to look to add new sites for Good Times in Colorado as we continue to evaluate a second concept that can provide additional growth for the Company."
Good Times is a regional chain of quick service restaurants located primarily in Colorado providing a menu of high quality all natural hamburgers, 100% breast of chicken sandwiches, fresh frozen custard, fresh squeezed lemonades, fresh cut fries and other unique offerings. Good Times currently operates and franchises 39 restaurants.
