Noble Roman's Announces Continued Expansion In All Three Growth Venues

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTC BB: NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor of Noble Roman's Pizza and Tuscano's Italian Style Subs, today provided an update on the continued expansion of all three of its growth venues.

During the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, the company signed license agreements with grocery chains for 225 new locations. 101 of those locations were opened during the quarter with the remainder scheduled to open during October. The company has developed a significant backlog of grocery store chains currently discussing the addition of Noble Roman's pizza program to their deli department. Interest in Noble Roman's take-n-bake offering has enabled the company to advance beyond selling to individual, independent grocery stores and the company is now actively and successfully marketing the offering to grocery store chains.

The non-traditional franchise/license venue continues with steady growth during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The company signed agreements for 14 additional locations and opened 15 during the quarter. 

In the company's newest growth venue, the stand-alone take-n-bake, seven additional franchise locations were sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 with one location being opened and several openings scheduled for October. 

"Take-n-bake continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of the pizza industry," commented Paul Mobley, Chairman and CEO of Noble Roman's Inc. "Noble Roman's remains at the forefront of this trend, methodically increasing our presence with a stand-alone take-n-bake concept and rapidly increasing our presence in grocery stores around the country."
