Hudson's Grill Announces The Opening of a Hudson's
Grill in Marquette, Mich.
Upstate Michigan Gets its First Hudson's Grill Restaurant
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 1999--Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., based in Dallas, announced today that the
first Hudson's Grill restaurant located in Upper Michigan opened for dinner on April 19, 1999, in far north Michigan in the city
of Marquette.
Beginning April 23, 1999, the local franchisee plans to be open for lunch, too. The free standing building is ideally located
between two hotels affiliated with the franchisee. Upper Michigan, and especially Marquette, which is its largest market, is a
tourist area with strong Winter and Summer seasons.
The Hudson's Grill restaurant is based on the Company's new design for stand alone units, and it is owned by Sharfe, L.L.C., a
Michigan limited liability company, which in turn is owned by Frank and Jim Stabile. Jim and his family are experienced
restauranteurs. In its first week of operation, the unit has already become a popular place to eat.
''We are extremely pleased to open the first Hudson's Grill in the Upper Region of Michigan,'' said David Osborn, President of
Hudson's Grill of America, Inc., ''and we look forward to strong growth as more and more residents and tourists in the
Marquette area learn of the Hudson's Grill. We believe this unit will be one of the strongest in our system because of the new
design and its excellent location.''
The new restaurant is based upon the Company's new 4600 square foot, freestanding, prototype design that uses its
''BURGERS -- SHAKES -- ROCK n' ROLL'' Americana ''late 50's and early 60's'' theme.
The Company also announced that it had settled a lawsuit with the landlord of a Westlake, Calif., site that the Company
formerly had leased. The Company will contribute $83,333.33 to settle the lawsuit.
Hudson's Grill of America is celebrating its 14th year of operation, and the company is publicly traded over the counter under
the NASDAQ symbol HDSG.
