We enter into development agreements with our franchisees that require them to open varying numbers of Ruby Tuesday or Lime Fresh restaurants. As of June 4, 2013, six of our 26 Ruby Tuesday concept franchisees had agreements to develop new franchised Ruby Tuesday restaurants. None of our five Lime Fresh concept domestic franchisees had an agreement to develop new Lime Fresh restaurants as of June 4, 2013. During fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, our Ruby Tuesday franchisees opened two, six, and eight restaurants, respectively, pursuant to development agreements, as follows:
| | | Ruby Tuesday | | Lime Fresh |
Fiscal Year | | Franchise Partnerships | | Other Domestic | | International | | Total | | |
2013 | | – | | – | | 2 | | 2 | | 2* |
2012 | | – | | 2 | | 4 | | 6 | | 4* |
2011 | | 1 | | 4 | | 3** | | 8 | | – |
*As discussed further in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 11, 2012 we acquired the royalty stream from four open, and one not yet open, Lime Fresh franchise restaurants. This restaurant opened in fiscal 2013. Additionally, one of the Lime Fresh franchise restaurant openings during fiscal 2013 was opened in Chile by an international franchisee.
** Includes one Wok Hay opening.
