About
Good Times Restaurants Inc. operates and franchises quick-service restaurants under two primary brands: Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard and Bad Daddy's Burger Bar. Headquartered in Golden, Colorado, the company focuses on the fast-casual and casual dining burger segments across the United States. Good Times features fresh, never-frozen burgers and frozen custard in a drive-through format, while Bad Daddy's offers chef-driven burgers and full-service dining with a full bar in a polished casual atmosphere. As of its latest reporting period, the company operates approximately 40 company-owned restaurants and oversees several franchise locations primarily in Colorado and North Carolina. The company went public in 1997 and trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GTIM. Good Times acquired the Bad Daddy's brand in 2015, strategically expanding its portfolio beyond quick-service into the higher-margin casual dining segment. Recent initiatives include menu innovation, digital ordering enhancements, and targeted unit expansion in existing markets. The company competes in the highly fragmented better-burger segment against both regional and national chains, differentiating itself through quality ingredients, distinctive flavor profiles, and localized market presence. The business model emphasizes operational efficiency at Good Times locations while leveraging Bad Daddy's premium positioning to capture diverse consumer segments.
