service to patio dining, carry-out, and delivery. Same store sales for Colorado restaurants declined 36.6% in the December fiscal period compared to the prior year. Same store sales for restaurants outside of Colorado declined by 10.5% during the December fiscal period with average weekly sales of approximately $38,800, due in part to the shift of the Christmas holiday from Wednesday to Friday, and also due to a reduction in traffic compared to the prior year in connection with reduced \u201cbricks and mortar\u201d holiday shopping activity, the relative absence of large group dining occasions, and elevated concern among customers regarding deteriorating headline COVID-19 metrics. On January 6, the Company re-opened the dining rooms in its Colorado Bad Daddy\u2019s restaurants at 25% capacity in accordance with new guidelines applicable to those restaurants.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company ended the quarter with approximately $10 million in cash, $4.0 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility with Cadence Bank, and $11.6 million in outstanding PPP loans. Additionally, the Company began paying its broadline food suppliers under available quick-pay terms to earn discounts provided by its existing supply agreements.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nRyan Zink, President &amp; CEO, said, \u201cWe are pleased to continue into the first quarter of fiscal 2021 the momentum we had at the end of our prior year. We prepared for the potential lost sales due to dining room closures at Bad Daddy\u2019s and during the first quarter we geared up to recapture some of those sales with the launch of our virtual brand, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.badmamaschicken.com%2F&amp;esheet=52358461&amp;newsitemid=20210112005087&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Bad+Mama%26%238217%3Bs+Chicken&amp;index=3&amp;md5=b53e5ca670cabc1e82b16c9847264db2\">Bad Mama\u2019s Chicken<\/a>, continuing to demonstrate our team\u2019s commitment to remain agile and to quickly respond to a rapidly changing operating environment.

Similarly at Bad Daddy\u2019s, despite declines in same store sales, we believe both in Colorado and in our other markets that our same store sales performance compares favorably to our competitors in casual dining.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Good Times Restaurants Inc.: <\/b>Good Times Restaurants Inc.
