American Restaurant Concepts Announces the Reopening of Dick's Wings & Grill Restaurant in Nocatee
LAFAYETTE, La., Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Restaurant Concepts, Inc. (OTCBB: ANPZ), operator and franchisor of the award-winning Dick's Wings & Grill® restaurants, announced today that it expects the Dick's Wings® restaurant located in the Nocatee development in Ponte Vedra, FL to reopen in the next five to ten days.
The Dick's Wings restaurant in Ponte Vedra first opened in April 2013, and quickly became one of the Company's highest-grossing restaurants. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the restaurant and the adjacent Yobe Frozen Yogurt® restaurant were closed earlier this month following an unresolved dispute between the former franchisee of the restaurants and the lessor of the plaza in which the restaurants are located. The franchise agreement for the restaurant was subsequently terminated. Within a short period of time, the Company identified DWG Acquisitions LLC, a strong, experienced franchisee, to take over as the new franchisee of the restaurant. DWG Acquisitions became the new franchisee of the Dick's Wings restaurant and the Yobe Frozen Yogurt restaurant earlier this week. Both restaurants are expected to reopen by the end of next week.
"We are delighted that our restaurant in the Nocatee development in Ponte Vedra is expected to be up and running again so soon," stated Richard W. Akam, CEO of American Restaurant Concepts. "Our Ponte Vedra location is a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility that has been one of our biggest revenue producers since it first opened its doors to the public earlier this year. We appreciate and value our loyal customers, as well as the dedicated employees whose hard work contributed to the restaurant's success. While the circumstances surrounding its temporary closure were unfortunate, we moved as quickly as possible to address the situation, find a new franchisee, and reopen the restaurant."
Nocatee is a new coastal community in Northeast Florida located in world-renowned Ponte Vedra, just a few minutes away from St. Augustine and Jacksonville. The Company has two Dick's Wings restaurants in the city of St. Augustine. The Nocatee location represents the third restaurant that the Company has opened in the greater St. Johns County area.
