Dow Jones Description

We are a restaurant company competing in the upscale casual dining market. As of April 1, 2007, we owned and operated 49 restaurants and franchised/licensed 12 restaurants primarily under one of the following names: Champps Americana, Champps Restaurant or Champps Restaurant and Bar. The first Champps opened in 1984. We operate and franchise / license restaurants in 21 states with larger concentrations of restaurants in the upper midwest and mid-atlantic regions. Champps menu consists of high quality ingredients, freshly prepared and served with exceptional service in an exciting environment through the use of videos, music, sports and promotions. Our restaurants generally are open seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. We serve our guests in the dining room and bar area during lunch, after work, during dinner and after dinner during our late night period. We opened one Company-owned restaurant in fiscal 2006. Also, a licensee/joint venture restaurant, in which we own an eight percent equity interest, opened in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport in October 2005. We do not expect to open any new stores in fiscal 2007. Our growth in fiscal 2006 and thus far in fiscal 2007 has been purposely modest as we concentrated on certain initiatives outlined below aimed at improving our existing operations and redefining our growth plans and site selection criteria. We expect to resume modest growth in fiscal 2008. ...
