noble romans plans big 2008

Growth initiatives include development in c-stores and other non-traditional locations.

Indianapolis-based Noble Roman’s, Inc. announced a number of management’s initiatives for 2008 designed to sustain the company’s growth trends over the next year and beyond. The company will continue to focus on development of franchises for both non-traditional and traditional locations featuring co-branded Noble Roman’s Pizza and Tuscano’s Italian Style Subs. In light of recent trends, market conditions and experience, management has developed adjustments in its execution of the company’s strategy.

Results of franchising activities at the company’s non-traditional venues, such as convenience stores, entertainment facilities, universities and health care facilities, continue to show significant growth potential, with lead generation and franchise inquiries running at historically strong levels. Accordingly, the company has added sales and service capacity to leverage this identified growth potential. In addition to selling franchises for non- traditional locations to new franchisees, the company will seek to expand further within its existing franchisee ranks and market its Tuscano’s brand to older, existing single brand units.

As one method of launching its franchise offering for traditional co-branded restaurants, the company has sold 24 development territories across the country to area developers. The Area Development agreements entered into thus far provide for the sale of a total of 868 units over multi-year periods as defined in the various individual agreements. The company will continue to market its traditional co-brand business by offering additional development territories. Additionally, the company has also sold 53 traditional co-brand franchises directly to individual franchisees, and will seek to follow this same strategy going forward.

In view of recent experience with the rollout of the traditional co-brand franchise program, including analysis of the factors underlying two recent unit closings, management believes that the company’s traditional co-brand franchise program would be strengthened by several operational enhancements.

These enhancements include:
*
More rigorous franchisee selection criteria.
* A longer, more robust training period for new franchisees.
* More direct franchisee involvement in the construction and marketing processes.
* Intensified monitoring and enforcement of operating standards and unit performance.

Recognizing that these steps could slow the speed of franchise development within territories covered by existing area development agreements, the company intends to offer reasonable accommodations to the exclusive development time frames specified in those agreements so as to align the interests of area developers and the company in sustainable growth of the traditional franchise program.
