None of this growth would be possible without the commitment from our operators and everyone associated with our legendary brand.”

Taylor continued, “As we look to 2018, our balance sheet and strong cashflow have us well positioned for continued growth including approximately 30 planned restaurant openings. In addition, our allocation strategy will continue to be focused on returning capital to shareholders, primarily through our dividend program.”
