Luby&rsquo;s Inc., the parent company of Luby&rsquo;s, Fuddruckers, Koo Koo Roo and Cheeseburger in Paradise, is facing difficulty amidst an increasingly competitive family dining market, according to an article on <a href="https://www.nrn.com/family-dining/luby-s-continues-asset-sales-refranchising-programs?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=when-senior-status-doesnt-cut-it-mature-restaurant-brand-lubys-refranchising-and-selling-assets-in-tight-market-2709784" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Nation&rsquo;s Restaurant News</a>. Luby&rsquo;s Inc. &ldquo;continued its sale of assets and its Fuddruckers refranchising program in the second quarter amid ongoing challenges for the brand, executives said Monday,&rdquo; per the article.

Chris Pappas, Luby&rsquo;s president and CEO said in a call to NRN that &ldquo;The business of operating mature brands in a highly competitive market is a hard one,&rdquo; the article said. Given this, the company launched a &ldquo;sales asset program&rdquo; last year, the article said, and have recovered some liquidity. 

&ldquo;Since the beginning of second quarter last year, we have closed 27 underperforming restaurants. And through our $45 million asset sales program that began last year, we generated proceeds of $34.7 million,&rdquo; Pappas said, according to the article.

&ldquo;As of March 13, Luby&rsquo;s owned and operated 136 restaurants, including 81 Luby&rsquo;s Cafeterias, 54 Fuddruckers and one Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant. The company also franchises 102 Fuddruckers in the United States, including Puerto Rico, as well as Canada, Colombia, Mexico and Panama,&rdquo; the article said.
