Ruby Tuesday is passionate about great food and gracious hospitality. Ruby Tuesday’s menu offers a fresh garden bar, premium seafood entrées, including lobster, and quesadillas, as well as classic favorites like Ruby Minis, handcrafted burgers and ribs. In 2005, the company began a reimaging initiative that included a focus on food and service and concluded with the creation of a fresh new look for its restaurants. The updated look, feel, and menu offerings are all important factors of Ruby Tuesday’s mission to consistently provide a high-quality, casual dining experience with compelling value that guests will enjoy and remember.
“Thanks to the outpouring of support from the local communities, military and tourists, we have enjoyed great success in the state of Hawaii,” said Davenport. “Ruby Tuesday is a proven concept and we’re confident these additional restaurants will be as successful as the others. We are very grateful for our loyal guests,” added Davenport.
Max Piet, Vice-President of Franchise Operations, said, “The response in Hawaii has been phenomenal. We are very pleased to grow our brand with two passionate and successful businessmen like Ted and Rick.”
In the 2011 fiscal year, Ruby Tuesday franchisees expect to open eight to 13 restaurants, up to 10 of which will be international.
