Indianapolis-based Noble Roman’s Inc., the franchisor of Noble Roman’s Pizza and Tuscano’s Italian Style Subs, said Monday that first-quarter earnings were down slightly compared with the same period last year.

The company earned $365,079, or 2 cents per share, compared with $368,012, or 2 cents per share, in the first quarter of 2011.

First-quarter revenue was $1.8 million, nearly identical to the year-ago period.

Royalties and fees from both traditional and non-traditional franchises also were flat in the first quarter, totaling $1.6 million.

The company saw more growth from take-n-bake products in grocery stores, with royalties and fees rising by $74,853, or 31 percent, in the first quarter.

Through May 8, the company had signed agreements for 1,084 grocery locations and was selling pizzas in 881 of those, the company said.

It has an agreement with Cary, N.C.-based The Pantry Inc., a convenience store chain with more than 1,650 locations, to start selling pizzas soon as part of a pilot program at a location in Raleigh, N.C.

In addition, the company has signed an agreement with Carmi, Ill.-based Huck’s, a 110-unit convenience-store chain in five states, to start selling pizzas by June in eight locations in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

Shares of Noble Roman’s opened at 61 cents each Tuesday morning, up 10 cents from the beginning of the month.

  • Bring Back the Old Days of the 70s and 80s

    I'd invest heavily in Noble Romans if they did three things:

    1) Get out of the gas stations and re-open actual sit-down restaurants that are CLEAN and SERVICE FRIENDLY.

    2) Bring back the old deep dish Sicilian recipe with its superior sauce and the dough actually baked all the way thru

    3) Give me the recipe to the old Bambinos (smaller individual sized deep dish pizzas)

  1. "And the success of the Indiana GOP to not allow an expansion of Medicaid had nothing to do with Indiana hospitals' financial woes? Fixed that for you; editorial bias rebalanced. Seriously, there are so many things wrong with Obamacare that the only way one can view it as a success is to assume that it was designed to fail our way into a government single payor healthcare system. The system is complex, creates huge regulatory burdens and overhead and yet still does not have adequate means to control escalating health care costs. But then when you elect a 10th grade math drop out with no quantitative reasoning skills to be President of one of the world's most important economies in troubled times, you can't really be surprised by blatant stupidity.

  2. No NIMBYs here to chase off a decent development. We don't need tons of parking and we'd happily play the role of host to a downtown Whole Foods.

  3. Whatever you do, don't change a single thing about Broad Ripple. I want it to look just like it did in the late '70s, with 30% of the north side of Broad Ripple Avenue burned out and plenty of places to park. That's right Broad Ripple, NEVER CHANGE. Let the world pass you by, don't improve your empty, abandoned lots full of weeds. Someday someone will want to film a zombie movie here.

  4. Hollywood could step in and make a movie about the history about this forlorn series. It could be a full celebrity cast of characters. WOW. http://www.advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/02/indiana-taxpayers-forced-to-pay-for.html

  5. This shouldn't come as a shock to many. Austin is a great city, and Indy needs to take some notes. Austin invests in decent transit options, has a highly educated workforce, embraces a creative class, and --despite being the state capital-- is not micromanaged by rural and suburban legislators. Want Indy to grow? Invest in the city (i.e. spend money). Raise taxes a bit, and use the money to improve education. And keep the state legislature out of Indy the other 9 months of the year.
