CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BURG) (“Chanticleer” or the “Company”), owner, operator, and franchisor of multiple nationally recognized restaurant brands in the U.S. and abroad, today announced the grand opening of its Little Big Burger (“LBB”), expected to open Thursday and located in Mission Valley, California. This represents the second site in the San Diego market. Several additional sites are currently in final lease review.
The franchisee LBBIG LLC, is owned and managed by Larry Spitcaufsky, an experienced restaurant operator of more than ten restaurants in the San Diego and Los Angeles markets. Spitcaufsky also serves on the board of directors of Chanticleer and is currently a 6% beneficial owner of Chanticleer’s common stock.
Larry Spitcaufsky stated, “It’s exciting to see our collective efforts continue to yield tangible results with the opening of our second Southern California based Little Big Burger. We have a great brand, team and opportunity. My continuing commitment and belief in the value proposition of both Chanticleer Holdings and our Little Big Burger brand remains no better evidenced than by not only my sizeable personal investment in Chanticleer, but also my multi-location commitment involving the ultimate opening of an additional six locations.”
Mike Pruitt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Chanticleer Holdings, commented, “We are excited to announce the grand opening of our second Little Big Burger on the West Coast with a partner like Larry who is not only an experienced restaurant owner, but who is also both a board member, as well as large investor in Chanticleer. We continue to look forward to further cultivating our partnership, focusing on building shareholder value, and gaining important scale through introducing our iconic brand to future additional local communities in Southern California.”
The value proposition of the Little Big Burger brand is unique and highly scalable. It is a fast-casual restaurant concept offering fresh, high quality cooked-to-order burgers operating out of a small leasehold footprint and leveraging a walk up counter set up which allows the Company to maximize operational efficiencies, while reducing operating expenses and typically yielding industry profit margins in the top 1% of all restaurants.
