FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOOD TIMES RESTAURANTS REPORTS FOURTH FISCALQUARTERSAME STORE SALES

(GOLDEN, CO) Good Times Restaurants Inc. (GTIM), operator of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, today announced that same store sales^1^for its fourth fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2022 increased 5.9% for its Good Times brand and increased 3.7% for its Bad Daddy’s brand, and that average weekly sales^2^ were $29,896 and $49,945 for its Good Times brand and for its Bad Daddy’s brand, respectively, for the fourth fiscal quarter. For the full fiscal year, same store sales increased 1.1% for its Good Times brand and increased 11.2% for its Bad Daddy’s brand, and average weekly sales were $27,974 and $49,425 for its Good Times and Bad Daddy’s brands, respectively, for the full fiscal year.

Ryan Zink, President and CEO, said “The performance of both of our brands during the fourth quarter demonstrate the continuing dedication of our teams and the relevance of both of our brands in an extremely competitive environment. With year-over-year menu price increases that averaged approximately 7.7% for Good Times and 5.7% for Bad Daddy’s during the quarter, our low single-digit traffic declines are favorable to what is being reported by Black Box Intelligence for the QSR and Casual Dining segments during the quarter. Our sales results are a direct result of restaurant managers overcoming persistent staffing challenges and all our people, at every level, thinking creatively to deliver exceptional service and high-quality products to our guests.”
