Chanticleer Holdings, Inc. (HOTR) Makes You an Insider


Investing in unique iconic American restaurant chains has been an investor dream target since McDonald’s went public in 1965, where an investment of $1,000 would have now grown well past the million dollar mark. But most such restaurants, including McDonald’s, achieved significant growth long before their IPO. Imagine the return potential on an even earlier investment in such a company.

In the case of Hooters of America (HOA), a privately held company that controls the famous Hooters restaurant chain, you can now play the role of an insider to gain part of the action. That’s because HOA was purchased in 2011 by a group of investors, one of which was publicly listed Chanticleer Holdings. Chanticleer now owns a percentage of HOA, and Chanticleer President and CEO Michael Pruitt sits on the HOA Board of Directors. As a result, any investor can now participate in Hooters, a chain that has grown to over 430 restaurants worldwide.

But there’s much more to Chanticleer Holdings than its valuable connection to HOA. Chanticleer itself has important rights as an independent developer of Hooters restaurants. The company now owns, in whole or part, six Hooters restaurants in Australia, South Africa, and Hungary, with additional development rights for parts of Brazil. Chanticleer’s strategy is to take the established and popular Hooters brand into a number of international emerging markets, a path successfully traveled by such giants as McDonalds, KFC, and Pizza Hut.

Chanticleer also has its eyes on a number of other territories, and believes that it can grow to more than 75 Hooters locations.
