Hudson's Grill Announces Two More New
Franchise Commitments
Friday, August 23rd, 1996
Dallas, TX - Two additional signed franchise contracts were
announced today by Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., from their
corporate offices, based in Dallas, Texas. The Company
announced that one new Hudson's Grill restaurant recently
opened, and another new Hudson's Grill restaurant is under
construction.
David L. Osborn, president of Hudson's Grill of America,
released the following information. "We're pleased to
announce that Walter De La Cruz, president, and Kent Wilks,
vice president operations, both principals in FUN Remco,
opened another Hudson's Grill restaurant on July 22nd. The
newest Hudson'sGrill restaurant made its debut in the City of
Fullerton, in Orange County, California, on Orangethorpe Ave.,
between Harbor Blvd. and Lemon Ave. This opening is the third
Hudson's Grill restaurant for their company in 1996.
Mr. De La Cruz selected this location in Orange County because
of the major commitment to the redevelopment of this area by
the City of Fullerton, Orange County, and the numerous
merchants and landlords in the trading area. The restaurant
location has very good visibility, high traffic counts in and
around the restaurant location, and it is in close proximity
to the University of California Fullerton, a natural draw for
a Hudson's Grill. Mr. De La Cruz continues to pursue
additional Hudson's Grill restaurant sites, not only in Los
Angeles and Orange County, but throughout the State of
California as well. FUN Remco operates two other Hudson's
Grill restaurants in Southern California, one in Whittier, and
another in Thousand Oaks.
Thomas A. Sacco, senior vice president of Hudson's Grill of
America, also announced that George Thomas, a businessman from
the Santa Clarita/Valencia, California area, who has been
working very closely with Hudson's Grill for the past twelve
months, has recently signed a franchise agreement and begun
construction on a new Hudson's Grill. Mr. Thomas' Hudson's
Grill restaurant will be a freestanding location, on a pad
site of a new shopping center development called Solemint
Junction, in the City of Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County, in
Southern California. The new Santa Clarita Hudson's Grill, on
Soledad Canyon Road, is scheduled to open in early 1997.
Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., is celebrating it's 10th year
of operation, and is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the
symbol HDSG.
