Chanticleer Holdings is exploding with good business moves and now getting major notice. This will be a $25 dollar stock in the not so distant future, on Radars now..
Chanticleer Holdings Inc (HOTR)being called the next Starbucks. Starbucks is a $75 dollar stock, HOTR is a smoking buy up to $25 dollars...
Today, Chanticleer has seven international locations, and the company has already identified 75 more locations where it plans to open restaurants
Is This Iconic Brand The Next Starbucks?
Street Authority
Some of the most successful companies have taken iconic American brands and rolled them out internationally to generate incredible growth.
Take Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX), for example. Starbucks first built its powerful brand in the United States, then famously rolled it out everywhere in the world. Investors who jumped on the Starbucks wagon in 1992 and held on for the long term have made 70 times their original investment.
When Starbucks went public in June 1992, the company had 140 outlets and revenue of $73 million. All of those 140 locations were in North America.
The first Starbucks location outside of North America didn't even open until 1996, when the company opened a store in Tokyo. Today Starbucks covers much of the globe, operating in 63 countries with over 5,500 international stores. Since going international, shares of Starbucks have returned more than 2,500%. And even with thousands of international locations, Starbucks still has significant long-term expansion plans.
There clearly is huge potential for companies that own highly recognizable American brands to compound their profits by going international.
And I've found a company that I think is just about to start what could be a similarly long and lucrative growth trajectory. Right now, the company has a significant base in the U.S., but it could soon expand operations -- in much the same way Starbucks has.
This firm, Chanticleer Holdings (Nasdaq: HOTR), is about to roll out a very popular American brand to international markets -- Hooters.
Chanticleer's involvement in Hooters began in 2005, when Chanticleer lent then-owner Robert Brooks $5 million to start Hooters Air (which eventually went bankrupt). As part of that loan, Chanticleer received the right of first refusal should Hooters of America ever be sold.
As fate would have it, Brookes died the next year -- and obtaining that right of first refusal proved to be a stroke of genius for Chanticleer.
In short, Brooks' surviving family members could not agree on what to do with the 425 Hooters locations Brooks had built in the U.S., and in 2010, the company was put up for sale.
With its right of first refusal, Chanticleer arranged for a group of noteworthy private equity investors to join in and purchase Hooters of America.
Subsequently, Chanticleer walked away with an ownership interest in Hooters of America (now 3%), a seat on the board of directors, and international expansion rights for a number of countries.
The whole process was a giant win for Chanticleer, which was also repaid in full for its original $5 million loan.
Here's where things get interesting.
Chanticleer owns the rights to the Hooters franchise in South Africa, Brazil, Hungary and England, and has a joint venture with an existing franchise owner in Australia.
Today Chanticleer has seven international locations, and the company has already identified 75 more locations where it plans to open restaurants.
Going from seven locations to 75 is the kind of exponential growth that can compound wealth in a hurry. And the game plan that Chanticleer has established for expanding is both simple and intelligent.
In each international restaurant opening, Chanticleer partners only with highly experienced and well capitalized local operators. These local operators know their markets, and joining with them greatly increases the odds of each new location being successful.
What I think sets this aggressive growth plan apart is that Chanticleer isn't rolling out a new restaurant concept every time it opens a location. It is opening restaurants with an iconic American brand name that I think international consumers are going to be very interested in.
In addition to the long growth window Chanticleer has with Hooters internationally, the company has been building a portfolio of other restaurant concepts. In addition to Hooters, Chanticleer has interests in American Roadside Burgers, Just Fresh and Beacher's Madhouse.
But make no mistake, it is Hooters that is going to drive the growth for Chanticleer. To appreciate how much potential Chanticleer has with Hooters internationally, consider the opportunity in England.
England is a country that has 1.5 times the GDP of Texas but only one Hooters. Texas meanwhile, has 41. England alone could get Chanticleer close to 75 locations over time.
As I said, this company has a huge window of growth potential ahead. I believe the time to jump on it is now, while the company is still small and off most investors' radar.
Risks to Consider: The restaurant business is a very difficult one with narrow profit margins. Having a top brand like Hooters is a great advantage, but success is certainly not guaranteed.
Action to Take --> Buy shares in Chanticleer Holdings for the opportunity to share in the huge growth potential of taking this iconic American brand international.

Chanticleer Addresses The Untapped Potential Of The International Hooters Market
In a now famous, decade old interview with Fortune magazine, self-styled "Worldwide Wing Commander" of Hooters restaurants Robert Brooks said, "Good food, cold beer and pretty girls never go out of style." With more than 430 locations generating close to $1B revenues, 30 years after the first Hooters restaurant opened in Florida, Brooks' statement looks vindicated. Throughout the majority of this growth however, the retail investment community has been unable to gain exposure to the world famous brand. One company now offers this exposure-Chanticleer Holdings (HOTR).
Chanticleer is a publicly-traded holding company that not only has a small, 3% stake in Hooters of America, the privately-owned parent company of the Hooters brand, but is also a franchisee of domestic and international Hooters locations. The company is in the early stages of a rapid expansionary strategy that its CEO, Mike Pruitt, expects to make Chanticleer profitable before the end of the year.
International Revenues Comparison
Chanticleer's profitability lies in international expansion of the Hooters brand. The international market remains relatively untapped, yet has proven key to a number of other U.S. fast casual establishments in the past. Yum! Brands (YUM), owner of the KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut fast-food chains, generated approximately 25% of its total revenues from international operations last year. McDonald's Corporation (MCD) generated just shy of 70% of its revenues internationally during 2012. Burger King Worldwide (BKW) generated 42% of its revenues during the first three quarters of 2013 from international locations. Of 430 hooters locations, 58 are located outside of the U.S. With average sales per location (FY 2012) of $2.26M, Hooters generates just 19% of its revenues from international locations on estimated system wide sales (FY 2012) of 971.8M.

Pink no information?
Nothing yet
Looks like they dumped the old building because the city refused to work with them, appears they made out excellent from this and that is good news to shareholders long term
Coffee Company is doing great
Even as the theater sat vacant, Orpheum Property Inc. expanded into new ventures, buying interests in companies that owned property in Mexico, California, Nevada and Belize in exchange for Orpheum Property stock. As recently as March of this year, the company issued a news release announcing another expansion -- the acquisition of a Honolulu coffee company called Coscina Brothers.
Are they still a Delaware Corp?
I know they have assets and would love to see them file
and it is Preferred A stock?
Have they paid any monies?
Looking forward to some trading and stock rising
No trades today?
What is the current float?
Making the turn, HOTR is heading North..
Lets break that $5 and get moving north...
That's a matter of opinion, but what is a matter of fact, is that Treaty is moving forward, drilling oil and defending themselves successfully in court.
That, I know you are what am I defense put up by Laurent, I almost wet myself laughing..
Sounds like the Judge gave quite the scolding to Mr. Laurent. The Judge also found in Treaty's defense and that is it in a nut shell.
Time will tell....so far Treaty has been and continues to move forward even in the face of false litigation. Now its Treaty's turn to seek damages and we'll see what happens...
If you call winning and about to win damages and attorney fees squirming, I say Kudos to Mr. Reid lol
Exactly, old outdated information that has no bearing on Treaty operations. As for Treaty receiving damages, Legal fees are for certain and punitive damages will be placed upon all that brought this bogus case and wasted the courts valuable time. I expect the defendants are looking at 75k a piece and as high as the moon if the Judge is real pissy that morning.
If the awards are large we can be looking at liens on personal properties. Treaty will most likely hit heavy in the punitive areas of damage. Basically this will be an awards hearing for Treaty.
Treaty has no court issues so that point is moot. Now these defendants in the case, I expect damages to be assessed, fines and liens which will most likely ruin most of them financially, IMO..
TREATY SEEKING MILLIONS IN DAMAGES
“Based on a dismissal of this Involuntary Petition, the Alleged Debtor
hereby asserts a claim against the Petitioning Creditors for costs, a
reasonable attorneys fee, damages sustained by the alleged debtor and
punitive damages, all of which will be asserted following the
Dismissal of the Involuntary Petition.” (P.-6).
Looks as if Speculation and opinion are being projected as fact...lol But here is a verifiable fact, Treaty suing for damages which probably will bankrupt the defendants...
