Ruth’s acquires restaurants from former franchisees
There were 150 Ruth’s Chris Steak House (Ruth’s Chris) restaurants at the end of 2021, including 73 company-owned establishments and 74 franchisee-owned locations. Ruth's has sought to increase its revenue generated from company-owned establishments by repurchasing formerly franchised restaurants. For example, the company acquired substantially all of the assets of three franchisee-owned locations for $18.6 million in 2019. The company also acquired six other franchise-owned locations in Hawaii for $35.4 million in 2017. Repurchases grant the company more control over domestic operations, while franchise agreements enable the company to penetrate international markets without additional direct capital investment from the group.
StructuralIn response to volatile demand in the wake of the first COVID-19 surge, the company undertook a comprehensive cost reduction program, aimed at shoring up labor and supply costs.
