GOLDEN, Colo. - June 3, 2013 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM) today announced its same store sales increased 16% in May, in addition to an increase of 5% in May of last year. This follows April’s 11.4% reported same store sales increase.

Commenting on the Company’s extraordinary sales increases, Boyd Hoback, President & CEO, said, “While we have been expecting sales increases from our new breakfast daypart and our rollout of All Natural Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, we have been pleasantly surprised at how robust the increase in our customer transactions has been. The synergy of our return to television advertising with a new creative platform, the continued refinement of our brand position with the rollout of unique products, limited reimaging of our older stores and execution to high standards by our operations team is clearly having an impact on our customers. We have almost doubled our chicken category’s sales mix which bodes well for our cost of sales given the tightening beef market and we have other innovative product introductions planned for the balance of the year.”

The Company also reported that it expects to begin to build new Good Times restaurants again in the Colorado market in addition to gearing up for expansion of the Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar concept. Hoback added, “We are in the process of implementing operating and training systems in the Bad Daddy’s concept and are putting new sites into the pipeline for its growth. While we’ve sold a few Good Times restaurants over the last couple of years that are in trade areas that no longer fit our customer profile, our sales and profit growth allow us to jump start development of new Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard sites in Colorado in addition to accelerating our reimaging of older restaurants.”
