Trading update and notice of Interim Results
The Fulham Shore plc (AIM: FUL) announces that the Company's
interim results for the six months ended 23 September 2018 will be
released on Wednesday, 12(th) December 2018.
Fulham Shore has had a successful first six months of the
financial year with turnover and customer numbers across both of
our restaurant businesses ahead of the same period last year. This
performance continues to reflect the quality and value on offer at
Franco Manca and The Real Greek as well as the dedication of our
team.
We continue to search out well located sites for our two
successful businesses in order to proceed with our prudent
expansion programme. Since the beginning of the financial year, two
new Franco Manca pizzeria have opened, in Bath and Cambridge. In
addition, we have commenced the fit out of a new Franco Manca close
to Aldwych, London, scheduled to open before Christmas 2018. This
will increase the number of Franco Manca locations in the UK to 43,
whilst The Real Greek currently operates 16 restaurants.
We are planning to open a further Franco Manca restaurant early
in 2019, with more openings to follow early in the Company's next
financial year which begins on 1 April 2019.

Notes for editors
Information on The Fulham Shore plc
Fulham Shore was incorporated in March 2012. The Directors
believed that there were attractive investment opportunities within
the restaurant sector in the UK and that, given their collective
experience in the restaurant sector, they could take advantage of
the opportunities which existed.
The ordinary shares of the Company were admitted to trading on
AIM in October 2014 in order to capitalise on such opportunities
and to give the company employees, customers and public the ability
to share in the enterprise.
Today, Fulham Shore owns and operates "The Real Greek"
(www.therealgreek.com) and "Franco Manca" (www.francomanca.co.uk)
restaurants.
The Real Greek
Since its foundation in London in 1999, The Real Greek has grown
steadily, now offering modern Greek cuisine in 16 restaurants
across London and Southern England.
The Real Greek food centres on the delicious, healthy diet of
the Eastern Mediterranean, staying true to the Greek ethos of food,
family and friends. Dishes are created using premium ingredients
sourced from Greece and Cyprus whenever possible, and developed by
Tonia Buxton, the face of Greek food in the UK.
The Real Greek's menu and atmosphere retain the spirit of eating
in Greece, encouraging diners to take their time eating amongst
friends and family, be it a relaxed dinner, family get-together, or
a fully catered party.
Franco Manca
Franco Manca opened its first restaurant in 2008 and now has 42
restaurants, primarily in London, but with recent openings in
Cambridge, Bath, Oxford and Bristol. Other locations outside London
are in the opening pipeline for the next 12 months. Franco Manca
also has a franchised pizzeria on the island of Salina in
Italy.
Franco Manca's pizza is made from slow-rising sourdough and is
baked in an oven that produces high heat. The slow levitation and
blast cooking process lock in the flour's natural aroma and
moisture, giving a soft and easily digestible crust. Where
possible, locally sourced and organic ingredients are used. Pizza
prices start from GBP5.00.
Franco Manca has received the following accolades:
Winner of the R200 Best Value Restaurant Operator- Over 20 Sites
Award 2017
Winner of MCA Retailer's Retailer Awards Best Concept award
2017
Winner of the CGA Peach Hero and Icon Awards Best Concept award
2016
