The pizza and sub sandwich franchisor, which is headquartered in Indianapolis, reported late yesterday that net income fell to $304,809, less than half the level of a year earlier. Revenue plunged to $2.2 million from $3 million.
Noble Roman’s also said fees for area development agreements fell – not due to the economy, but because of a new, “more disciplined approach.”
Noble Roman’s shares closed yesterday at 39 cents apiece. The stock traded near $1 through much of the decade, soared briefly above $7 last summer, and then plummeted to its current level late this summer.
