INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTCQB:NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor of Noble Roman's Pizza and Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub, announced today that its company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub segment had the highest profit contribution month in May of 2025 since August of 2022, and the third highest monthly profit contribution ever. The company reports that same store sales were up approximately 9.3% in May versus the same month a year ago.

According to Scott Mobley, President & CEO of Noble Roman's, "May was a very good month for Craft Pizza & Pub operations. Sales were up approximately 2.7% in April and 9.3% in May. Our long-term focus has been a steadfast attention to operational consistency, both in service and cost controls. Recent post-Covid years have created margin challenges, both from an inflationary standpoint and a consumer spending standpoint, but operational consistency, a chipping away at structural costs, and an advantageous tailwind from cheese prices have come together to create an excellent result in May. Conditions have required a marketing and promotional emphasis on value, which also contributes to margin pressures, but which has had a positive impact on guest counts and sales. We anticipate another month of same store sales increase in June, perhaps in the range of that generated in April, although we do have a return of higher cheese prices with which to contend. We still have the last third of June to go, and June can be unpredictable as a vacation month and with the number of current national and world events on the minds of consumers. We also still remain in a value-orientation from a promotional standpoint, and conditions may not allow that to change anytime soon."
