Press Release

 

Bobby Cox Companies Closes Sale of Schlotzsky’s

 

Restaurant Veterans Launch New Era for ‘Fast Casual’ Dining Leader

 

AUSTIN, Texas (January 10, 2005) – Bobby Cox Companies, Inc. announced today that it has closed on its purchase of substantially all of the assets of Schlotzsky’s, Inc.  Bobby Cox Companies will operate the Schlotzsky’s franchise system as a privately owned company, will keep its headquarters in Austin, and will retain all current Schlotzsky’s employees.  The sale was approved on December 8, 2004, by Judge Leif Clark of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division after the Company filed for Chapter 11 protection and subsequently auctioned off its assets to the Bobby Cox Companies.

 

The new management group will include Bobby D. Cox as Chairman, Bob Barnes as President and Ronny Jordan as Chief Financial Officer.  Darrell Kolinek will remain as Vice President of Operations.  This group brings more than 90 years experience in the restaurant industry, as both a franchisor and a franchisee, providing a unique and valuable perspective on how to position the Company and its franchisees for success.  Initial steps toward that goal will be to focus on cost efficiencies and more effective and localized marketing.

 

“We have long admired the passion customers have for Schlotzsky’s and its Original sandwich, and we are excited to take the Company to a new level of respect and success.  Based on the feedback I have received from employees, franchisees and suppliers, that excitement is spreading like wildfire throughout our community. Everyone is enthusiastic about the tremendous opportunities ahead,” said Bob Barnes.  “By remaining in Austin, we intend to continue to be a part of the community that helped build our brand and to retain all of the Schlotzsky’s home office staff, thereby preserving continuity for our franchisees.  In addition, we have created an unparalleled management team to spearhead what we think will be one of the most inspiring t urnaround stories in the restaurant industry.”

 

“From the day the sale was approved by the bankruptcy court, the management team from Bobby Cox Companies has been visible in the franchise system, taking the time to listen to our concerns and truly understand the steps necessary to return Schlotzsky’s to the position it deserves in the restaurant industry,” said Jan Carmean, a Schlotzsky’s franchisee in Athens, Georgia.  “I believe this management group is equipped to help us become a stronger and more viable system, and I’m excited to be a part of the Schlotzsky’s concept.”

 

Bobby Cox Companies, Inc. is a dynamic family of service businesses dedicated to meeting the needs of today's consumers.  Under the guidance of its founder, Bobby D. Cox, the company has grown from its humble beginnings as a single coffee shop restaurant in 1961 in Odessa to a multi-concept organization operating more than 30 businesses throughout the southwestern United States.  From entertainment, restaurants, and telecommunications to oil and gas production, custom food manufacturing, ranching and real estate development, the Bobby Cox Companies is the embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit of free enterprise.  The company is headquartered in the International Plaza Building in Ft. Worth, Texas, and employs more than 2,200 people throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and New Mexico.  As of January 7, 2005 there were 445 Schlotzsky's® restaurants open and operating in 36 states, the District of Columbia and six foreign countries.
