PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HUDSON'S GRILL PLANS 24 NEW RESTAURANTS
UNDER FRANCHISE AGREEMENT WITH JOTAR, INC.
Major expansion plans were announced today by the
Hudson's Grill od America restaurant chain.
David L. Osborn, president of the Dallas-based
organization, said the company plans to develop 24 of its
'50's-themed restaurants through a franchise agreement signed
with Gregory Georgas, president of Jotar, Inc., of New Jersey.
Affiliates of Jotar currently franchise 4 of 16 Hudson's Grill
restaurants in southern California. Plans call for the first
unit to open in February, in northern New Jersey, where Jotar
currently operates Wendy's restaurants.
The new unit in the Garden State Plaza, in Paramus, New
Jersey, will be the first Hudson's Grill to open in the highly
competitive northeast region. Several additional units are
planned for this area in the coming months. A second Jotar
franchise agreement includes the expansion of Hudson's Grills
in California.
Osborn said the company will accelerate other expansion
plans through franchise agreements with regional operators, or
with single-unit operators who demonstrate a strong, local
presence and proven expertise in food service.
Also, on December 15, 1995, Hudson's amended its
franchise agreements with Georgas' four current California
franchises. The agreement permits the franchisees to prepay
certain fees, and in addition, extends the current franchise
agreements to October 21, 2015.
Hudson's Grills are casual style, full service
restaurants, featuring a "Flirt with the 50's" theme. Now in
its 10th year of involvement with Hudson's Grills, Hudson's
Grill of America, Inc., is traded on the NASDAQ using the
symbol HDSG.
