(OTCQB: CCLR) (OTCBB: CCLR) (“Chanticleer” or the “Company”), a business operator focused on expanding the Hooters casual dining restaurant brand in international markets, announced the company has secured the location and construction is well underway for its second joint venture development restaurant in Australia which will be located in Surfers Paradise, Australia. The restaurant is expected to open late second quarter 2012 and will mark the second JV restaurant to open this year since the company’s Campbelltown, Australia restaurant opened on January 9th, 2012. The Campbelltown location continues to exceed expectations reaching a top ten ranking in sales across the entire Hooters restaurant group, while building a loyal repeat fan base.

“Surfers Paradise is our next step in expanding the Hooters restaurant brand across Australia. With the tremendous success of our Campbelltown location we moved quickly to execute our expansion plans. Surfers Paradise attracts more than 20,000 overnight visitors every day and is considered a prime tourist destination. Every weekend the number of visitors swells to more than 30,000 per day in the entertainment precinct where our next Hooters will be located. The local and visitors demographics should make our Surfers Paradise a huge success,” said Morney Schlebusch, Chief Operating Officer, Hooters Australia.

Michael Pruitt, Chief Executive Officer of Chanticleer Holdings, stated, “We are excited to expand our relationship with Morney and his team. The success of the Campbelltown location is evidence of their ability to execute and deliver. This marks another key milestone as we continue to execute our core growth strategy of expanding the Hooters brand internationally. We see tremendous opportunities in Australia and other fast-growing markets to open additional restaurants.”
