Revenues in Detail
Flanigan's registered revenues of $49.1 million in the fiscal third quarter, up 8.2% year over year.
The revenue uptick primarily resulted from the increased package liquor store and restaurant sales, revenue generated from the opening of Flanigan's corporate-owned restaurant in Hollywood, FL (Store #19R) in March 2024 and the opening of the limited partnership-owned restaurant in Miramar, FL (Store #25) in April 2023.
Revenue Sources
Flanigan's generates sales from three sources — Restaurant food sales, Restaurant bar sales and Package store sales.
Restaurant food sales generated revenues of $30.5 million, up 8.3% year over year.
