GOOD TIMES RESTAURANTS REPORTS
THIRD FISCAL QUARTER SAME STORE SALES

 

(GOLDEN, CO) Good Times Restaurants Inc. (GTIM), operator of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, today announced that same store sales¹ increased 5.8% for its Good Times brand and increased 1.2% for its Bad Daddy’s brand compared to the same prior-year fiscal quarter and average weekly sales² were $31,780 and $52,555 for its Good Times and Bad Daddy’s brands, respectively, for its third fiscal quarter ended June 25, 2024.

 

Ryan Zink, President and CEO, said “The positive same store sales trends at Good Times demonstrate the strength of the brand. In May, we completed the remodel of one of our restaurants in Lakewood, Colorado and we closed on the purchase of the Good Times restaurant in the Denver suburb of Parker, Colorado and are extremely pleased with its first few weeks of operations as a company-owned restaurant. Further, as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, we have installed our next generation point-of-sale system in eleven of our twenty-six company-owned Good Times Restaurants.”

 

“The improvement in Bad Daddy’s sales performance is encouraging, with the concept generating same store sales gains for the quarter. We are seeing progressive improvements in sales across all geographic regions, the result of a sharp focus on the guest and elevated operating standards,” Zink continued.

 

Mr. Zink concluded, “Our strategy continues to combine re-investment in our existing restaurants to drive organic sales growth, cautious and measured new-unit development, and return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases. We continue to believe that the market will ultimately recognize the value we are creating with this disciplined approach centered around delivering enjoyable and memorable guest experiences through excellent operations.”
