Ryan Zink, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased with the performance of both of our brands during the fourth quarter, including having Good Times maintain the high unit volumes achieved during the early stages of the pandemic despite customers returning to full-service dining. We are pleased to share that Bad Daddy’s is exceeding 2019 sales levels at an increasing pace. Sales this September exceeded September 2019 by 7% among restaurants open for the entire fourth quarter in both years. We opened our second restaurant of the year in Montgomery, Alabama in late September with weekly volumes significantly exceeding the system average. Additionally, we opened Bad Daddy’s at the Tivoli. This non-traditional unit is located at the taphouse on the premises of Tivoli brewery, the oldest brewery in the state of Colorado. In this location, we serve customers the same chef-inspired burgers as we do in our traditional locations, with beverages and all front-of-house service provided by Tivoli Brewing Company. I am proud of our teams for their dedication and strong operations and guest service execution which are the drivers of the impressive top-line sales performance both brands have generated this year.”
