| Transcript | Big Boy is big seller in competitive retail markets of California, Nevada, Arizona when it comes to salad dressings and sauces (top photo) Jr. Hot Shoppes of the 1970's add bright new decor, and contain construction features that permit major changes to adapt to market trends of the future franchises in 42 states and Canada, up from 592 a year ago. Fee income to the company also rose. The Big Boy franchise system makes a good contribution to our results. Is Fairfield Farm Kitchens your only non-profitable operation? Yes. But it won't be for long. We cut our losses by another 60 percent in 1972. We are budgeting for profits in fiscal 1973. Does this mean volume of food produced and shipped continues to rise? Volume of "sales" to other Marriott facilities in the eastern half of the country hit a new peak last year. Also our program of selling products externally has been moving along nicely. Our line of retail products is being expanded cautiously, but according to plan. Acceptance of our institutional product line is very gratifying, and we are now represented nationwide through more than 240 frozen food distributors. You recently acquired Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour Restaurants. How do they fit into the Marriott plan? Farrell's is the most exciting chain of family-oriented fun-and- food facilities in the United States. About ten years ago founder Bob Farrell built an ice cream parlour around the Gay Nineties theme, offered quality food, humor, bright colors, a player piano, singing, sirens, drums—and made it a real "experience" for the customer. From that beginning in Portland, Oregon, he built "Farrell's" into 24 company-owned units and 40 franchised units and launched a "national" concept. An outstanding success story—one we like to identify with. Will this pace be continued? We hope so. We expect to add at least 15 more company-owned and "iT?"-vjjjH ^h^HP^ \m nZgZr l& |
