Red Robin 1Q profit rises 26%

Same-store sales rose 5.4% at corporate units

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. reported Tuesday a 26-percent increase in net income for its April 21-ended first quarter, saying its new line of premium Black Angus burgers and increased advertising boosted sales.

A 5.4-percent increase in company-owned unit same-store sales included a 0.5-percent increase in traffic, with average check rising 4.9 percent, the company said. Greenwood Village, Colo.-based Red Robin ended the quarter with 496 restaurants, including 362 company-owned full-service locations, five fast-casual Red Robin Burger Works units and 129 franchised restaurants.

In March, the company acquired four franchised units in New York for about $8 million. Red Robin has agreed to acquire an additional 32 franchised units in the U.S. and Canada for about $40 million in a deal expected to close in late summer.
