“David Kim, the former Class III member of the Board, was appointed as a Class II member of the Board”
“We have gained a lot of improvement on the food cost side, but in terms of sales decrease, it's kind of the same as the first quarter. Consumers are definitely getting pressured because of things like the fuel costs and all that.”
“The fourth quarter continued to be a very challenging environment for all restaurants in the business.”
“In the first quarter of 2025, despite economic pressures and slow consumer demand, we generated a 13% year-over-year increase in total revenues to $57.3 million.”
“To begin the call, I wanted to summarize what we promised and delivered on our guidance for 2024. For revenue, we gave a range of $200 million to $205 million for the year.”
“The third quarter marked another period of successful execution as we continue to provide exceptional value and taste to our customers while expanding our footprint to 43 locations nationwide and preparing to open a large slate of new locations before year-end.”
