Grew second quarter revenue by 61.2% to a record $27.0 million with 18 new restaurants and strong same-store-sales growth of 6.7%
SOUTHFIELD, MI, July 9, 2013 -- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BAGR) ("DRH" or the "Company"), the creator, developer, and operator of the unique, full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar Bagger Dave's Legendary Burger Tavern® ("Bagger Dave's") and one of the largest franchisees for Buffalo Wild Wings® ("BWW"), announced preliminary unaudited sales results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Total revenue for the 2013 second quarter increased by 61.2% to approximately $27.0 million from $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2012.
