Good Times to Introduce All-Natural Bacon

Completes the All-Natural Protein Platform; No Added Nitrates, Antibiotic Free, Humanely Raised

GOLDEN, Colo. - March 31, 2015 - (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, today announced that it is introducing all natural, nitrate free bacon system-wide in all of its Good Times restaurants in April. The bacon has no added nitrates or hormones, is antibiotic free and meets standards for the humane treatment and raising of the animals.

Nick Biegel, Director of Product Development, said, “Our all natural brand positioning has helped propel dramatic sales increases at Good Times over the last three years. We continue to take a ‘better food stand’ with our brand and are working to transform the way that people view the quality of food available within the fast food segment. The introduction of all natural bacon augments our fresh, all-natural Angus beef and our all natural, hand breaded chicken and completes the portfolio of our all natural proteins at Good Times. More and more consumers are focusing on where their food comes from and any products that come from humanely raised animals without added hormones, antibiotics or steroids are becoming increasingly important. We hear time and again from customers that Good Times is the only fast food they will eat. While other concepts may have a limited commitment to all natural products, we have staked a larger claim and position in the industry with our all natural positioning combined with unique flavor profiles throughout our menu – the best of both worlds.”

The Company reported that it will take a small price increase to cover the increased costs of the all-natural bacon. Biegel added, “As a smaller regional chain, we are able to access the supply chain without having to charge a super-premium price for truly all natural products. This move continues to anchor Good Times’ fresh, all natural, handcrafted brand position as the quality alternative to other quick service restaurant concepts.”

Good Times has a long history of all natural product sourcing. The chain began using all natural beef in 2004 and all natural chicken in 2013.
