Mike Pruitt, Chanticleer Chief Executive Officer stated, “We continue to be pleased at the continuing progress of our national rollout of both our Little Big Burger and Burgers Grilled Right brands. As of today, we have 14 LBB stores and expect to add an additional 6-10 new locations throughout the balance of the year. With our current pipeline, remaining JV locations and new potential franchise partners we remain confident that for 2018, total store count will grow more than 20%. We’re equally pleased to announce that our recently opened Catholic University BGR location has been a top performer since opening. In addition, selective BGR and American Burger Company (“ABC”) stores have experienced record weeks in sales as of late.
Pruitt continued, "Anticipated growth continues to be fueled by the favorable economics of both the LBB and BGR better burger brands and multiple mutually beneficial joint ventures that encompass multi-location agreements, including our newest partnership announced just last week with NASCAR superstar Denny Hamlin. We partnered with Denny to open his first Little Big Burger ("LBB") store in Cornelius, N.C. The agreement also includes an option for an additional nine potential future locations and was the subject of a recent article in the Charlotte Business Journal.”
