Good Times’ Same Store Sales Increase 3.8%
Bad Daddy’s
Same Store Sales Increase 0.5%
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Good
Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM), operator of Good Times
Burgers & Frozen Custard, a regional quick-service restaurant chain
focused on fresh, high-quality, all-natural products and of Bad Daddy’s
Burger Bar, a full-service, upscale concept, today announced that its
Good Times’ same store sales increased 3.8% in its fiscal third quarter
ended June 26, 2018 over the prior year’s increase of 3.7%, and its Bad
Daddy’s same store sales increased 0.5% during the quarter over the
prior year’s increase of 0.1%. Same store sales for Bad Daddy’s exclude
the weeks during which the original Bad Daddy’s in Charlotte, NC was
closed for remodeling.
Boyd Hoback, President & CEO, said, “We saw our sixth consecutive
quarter of positive same store sales at Good Times which are in-line
with our guidance. On a two-year stack Good Times’ increase in same
store sales again exceeded 7.0%. We are lapping the introduction of our
West Coast Double Cheeseburger and Combo at price points of $3 and $5,
respectively, from last year that drove excellent sales gains so we are
very pleased with our results this year after increasing the West Coast
burger and combo prices last fall.”
Regarding Bad Daddy’s results, Hoback added, “Our Bad Daddy’s brand also
performed very well, posting positive comp sales for the thirteenth
consecutive quarter. Our overall same store sales were impacted by an
estimated 1.0% – 1.5% during the quarter from cannibalization in the
Charlotte market resulting from the fifth restaurant in the market that
we opened at the beginning of the fiscal year, which exceeded our new
store sales target by nearly 25% during the quarter. We opened our
second Atlanta-area Bad Daddy’s in Smyrna, GA on June 4th
which posted a company record for opening week sales and our class of
2017 and 2018 new stores continue to average above our system average.
We are on track to open four additional restaurants during the final
quarter of the year: two in North Carolina, one in Greenville, South
Carolina, and our third restaurant in the greater-Atlanta area.”
