Thoughts and strategies from
President & CEO
H
Stronger from within
ow a business responds to today’s
challenges, determines how far it
will go tomorrow. While curtailing
budgets and
controlling its many
resources, businesses must continue to
implement strategies that will ensure
transformational growth is not sacrificed
in the process. They must be positioned
to maximize their efficiencies, seek new
opportunities, deliver new and workable
business capabilities, even in the face of
decreased funding.
Today’s CEOs are not only being called
upon for increased accountability but
also for sureties of success. As chieftain,
the CEO’s ears must be attuned to the
changes taking place around him and
must position himself to masterfully
use economic forecasts to anticipate
challenges, craft and implement strategies
that will keep the organization afloat.
The old proverb ‘do not put all your eggs
in one basket’ is suggestive of the bold
survival step necessary in this current
business climate . If there is opportunity for
growth or if the company’s main revenue
stream and stakeholder investments are
threatened, the astute leader must respond
with urgency, to find solutions to combat
impending challenges.
Golden Krust continues to experience
growth through franchising even in
this ruthless economy. Over 60% of the
company’s annual revenue is derived from
franchising. Its strategy to attract and
sign new franchise owners remains fixed.
Growth has been organic in nature, in that,
it is taking place among current franchise
owners willing to reinvest in the brand and
also through corporate investment. No
effort is being spared to grow the franchise
division through new restaurant additions.
As competition for customers’ scarce
resources becomes rife among businesses,
so also has their demand for reasonably
priced products increased. In the face of
all this, the cost of raw materials has
continued to trend upwards creating quite
a dilemma. Golden Krust has responded
by investing in research and development
of new value added products, created a
department for sourcing ‘best prices’ for
raw material, expanded it’s retail offering
to maximize it’s footprint in the market
place and has implemented controls for
increased efficiency in every area.
The company’s “new” line of exotic sauces
was officially launched in mid 2011.
Through aggressive marketing, the sauces
are enroute to big box supermarket chains
including Shop Rite. I have every reason
to believe this will be a highly successful
addition to our product mix.
A business could be forgiven for turning
a blind eye to philanthropy with the
existing scarcity of capital which has
forced many towards the running of lean
enterprises. Golden Krust however, has
remained undeterred by the challenges
and has become even more steadfast in its
commitment to community building and
education. This year marks a record year
for scholarships. The Mavis & Ephraim
Hawthorne Golden Krust Foundation
awarded over fifty scholarship here and
abroad. Some of our franchise owners
have also stood with us in this thrust for
education, making great impressions on
their communities.
On Thursday February 3, 2011, Jeffrey Reid
officially opened a new homework center
at his alma mater Denham Town Primary
School in Jamaica which he equipped and
furnished in a joint effort with the Jamaica
Public Service Company. The project which
took approximately two years to complete
is now a fully air-conditioned unit, with
23 new computers. We also applaud
and support franchisees Sandra Bryan,
Annette Runcie and Charmaine Golding
,advocates for education and partners in
the company’s quest to make a difference
through education.
In the face of record statewide
unemployment, Golden Krust stands proud
of the fact that since the year began
it has added two new shifts. A total of
30 new employees. While this may not
impact the national employment rate in a
marked way, it is keeping many from the
unemployment lines while keeping the GK
wheels turning.
Golden Krust at its 22nd year is
experiencing a product evolution. It boosts
our confidence to know that our patties,
breads, pastries and sauces have found
their way into the main stream market and
can be found in the frozen food isles of
prominent chains like Costco. The brand
identity will garner for us the competitive
advantage we seek and will also help
pave the way for further inroads into the
main stream arena in both the franchising
and retail segments.
The company’s success over the past
year has been directly linked to team
work both from a employee/ employer
and
business/stakeholder
perspective
and from an expanding band of loyal
customers. The team rose to the occasion,
working over and above the call of duty
to keep the business going. We salute
our franchisees who continue to work
tirelessly to keep the doors opened To
those who saw and took the opportunity
for expansion, we salute you. We are
focused on succeeding and have given
our pledge to work consistently with the
energized GK Franchise Advisory Council
and with our franchising community in
general, on cooperative purchasing and the
delivery of the highest quality products
and service.

Lowell Hawthorne
Honored for Outstanding Leadership & Philanthropy
T
he year 2011 will go down in Golden
Krust’s history book as a phenomenal year
for Lowell F. Hawthorne - President &
CEO of Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery & Grill
who was awarded for his extraordinary leadership
and community spirit. On Monday September
26th, 2011 Medgar Evers College, conferred an
Honorary Doctor of Letters degree upon Lowell
F. Hawthorne in recognition of his outstanding
philanthropic contributions to the community. The
21st Academic Convocation ceremony was held in
the Founders Auditorium at the college.
It was a proud moment for the Golden Krust CEO,
who in his address to the large group of faculty,
students and supporters, said that he was being
honored for his belief that “everyone should be
given an opportunity to use their God-given ability
to bring their dreams and aspirations to fruition”.
He has always believed that education is the key to
unlocking many doors of opportunity. He further
added that “everyone is blessed with enough to
bless someone else. The more blessed we are, the
greater our capability to bless, so we should each
do our part graciously and urgently”.
Dr. William Pollard – President of Medgar Evers
College praised Dr. Hawthorne for the legacy of
giving that his company has developed both in the
United States and Jamaica, particularly in the fields
of education and health. Golden Krust through
the Mavis & Ephraim Hawthorne Golden Krust
Foundation has provided numerous scholarships
and set up endowment grants at the University of
the West Indies in Jamaica and Bronx Community
College in New York.
On November 30, Lowell was selected as the
Jamaica Observer Diaspora Business Leader for
2010 – one of Jamaica’s most prestigious and
coveted business awards. Lowell was elated to
be crowned winner from among a field of eight
nominees who have all established an outstanding
track record of achievement within the Diaspora.

any people know Golden Krust Bakery & Grill for
its delicious and popular flaky Jamaican patties, jerk
chicken, oxtail stew and other authentic island dishes.
What many are coming to realize is the extent to which the nation’s
largest Caribbean food franchise is committed to giving back to
the community. The Mavis & Ephraim Hawthorne Golden Krust
Foundation, named in honor of the late parents of the founders,
on Thursday, August 4, 2011 awarded thirty (30) scholarships to
high school students entering college for the first time in the Fall
semester. The ceremony was held at the United Church of Jesus
Christ in the Bronx. Students were invited to write an essay about
either their immigrant experience in the United States or how
their college education will help benefit the community. The
essays were graded by a panel of judges, based on originality,
creativity, grammar and content. These thirty exceptional young
men and women are only the latest of hundreds whose lives have
been changed by the foundation’s commitment.
Since 2005, the Mavis & Ephraim Hawthorne Golden Krust
Foundation has awarded over 150 scholarships to graduating
high school seniors (as well as students at the Hawthorne’s
alma mater, Oberlin High School in Jamaica) and established
a $100,000 endowment towards scholarships for students with
high aptitude who demonstrate financial need at the Bronx

also pledged $100,000 to the University of the West
Indies, the oldest, fully regional institution of higher
learning in the Commonwealth Caribbean, to cover
tuition costs for five students per year over a period
of eight years.
The family business has always made promotion
of its core values and support of the community
among the tenets of the company’s philosophy, and
the lynchpin of this effort is the Mavis & Ephraim
Hawthorne Golden Krust Scholarship Foundation.
Lowell Hawthorne recognizes that “giving back to
the community is making a difference in the lives
of young persons and families by helping to sponsor
education” and is working assiduously to meet this
need for his customers.

GK Helping
The American
Cancer Society
To Create A
World With
More Birthdays!
n October 2011 Golden Krust renewed its allegiance to the American Cancer Society
to raise the level of awareness among its customers about the dreaded disease - breast
cancer and do its part to create a world with more birthdays. This marks the fourth year
that Golden Krust has deliberately sought to align itself with this important cause.
For the entire month of October, Golden Krust embarked upon a Breast Cancer
Awareness Campaign within its entire franchise chain under the banner “Eat
for the Cause”. For every Golden Krust chicken patty purchased within the month
of October,
three percent (3%) of that sale is donated to the American Cancer
Society. The color of the Golden Krust chicken patty bags is also changed to pink
to help bring added excitement and generate more exposure for the campaign.

ompany executives, franchisees and
customers also joined the throng of
survivors and well-wishers in the
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk
held on October 16 at Orchard Beach in the
Bronx. Free Golden Krust t-shirts were given
to persons who had registered to walk with the
“Golden Krust Pink Team” on the day. Over
8000 persons turned up to show solidarity with
the cause at Orchard Beach which was the perfect
setting for a beautiful and crisp autumn morning.
“We consider it a privilege and our obligation to
get involved in the fight against breast cancer”
“
Golden Krust’s ongoing commitment to support
the Walk and address the health disparities that exist
within the Caribbean community through its restaurants, enables us to invest more funding into innovative, life-saving breast cancer research, and the free
services and programs we offer to cancer patients.
We could not be more grateful for their extraordinary
support and strong social consciousness.
Carla Sterling
”
Regional Vice President, American Cancer Society – Bronx Region.
says Lowell Hawthorne, President & CEO. “With the
alarming statistics surrounding this disease especially
within the African American community, it is imperative
that we find a cure” he added. According to the American
Cancer Society’s website: “In 2011, an estimated 230,480
new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed
among women in the United States. Approximately 39,520
women are expected to die from breast cancer. Only
lung cancer accounts for more cancer deaths in women.
About 2,140 cases of breast cancer are expected to occur
among men, accounting for about 1% of all breast cancers.
With the help of all its customers the company hopes to raise
awareness and funds which will be used to spread knowledge
and foster hope in the fight against breast cancer. Every dollar
donated will be used by the American Cancer Society to fund
research programs aimed at discovering treatments to improve
breast cancer survival and reduce recurrence. Golden Krust is
committed to continuing its support of theAmerican Cancer Society
as they work assiduously to create a world with more birthdays
– where cancer never steals another year from anyone’s life.

Its a
Family
Affair
Meet the Burris family!
F
ranchisees Donald & Sonia Burris
along with their seven children
are a Caribbean culinary force to
be reckoned with in the borough
of Brooklyn, NY. They joined the Golden
Krust franchise system back in 2006 and
have worked very hard at maintaining high
standards of food quality and customer
service throughout the years. They take
great pride in operating restaurants that
consistently offer great tasting products
with speedy and courteous service. The
Burris’ consider it an honor to be part of
the Golden Krust chain and are committed
to investing the time, resources and energy
needed to keep the GK brand flying high.
Since opening their first franchise located
on 1848 East New York Ave they have since
opened two other successful locations in
Brooklyn. Donald Burris said that “with the
Lord’s help my aim is to own a total of seven
restaurants – one for each of my children.”
Both he and his wife Sonya would like to
see their children who are already integrally
involved in the day to day operations,
eventually take over full ownership of the
empire they are steadily building. It is said
that the family that prays together, stays
together. The Burris are a perfect example
of this popular phrase. Golden Krust
wishes this enterprising family continued
success and pledges its support to helping
the Burris’ to achieve their entrepreneurial
dreams!

olden Krust’s mascot affectionately
called “Mr. Krust” is the subject
of the company’s latest gift to its
youngest customers. Just in time for the
Christmas holidays, the company developed
a new children’s booklet entitled “Mr. Krust
and the Talent Contest” which is a fun and
informative booklet designed to motivate
children ages 7 – 11 years to learn more
about Jamaican culture, inspire creative
genius and highlight the delicious food that
Golden Krust has to offer.
The booklet will be given away at select
locations within the communities in which
Golden Krust is located including the
Brooklyn Children’s Museum and at all
Golden Krust locations nationwide.
According to Candice Richards - GK’s
Director of Marketing & PR, “our new and
exciting booklet will hopefully accomplish
two purposes; develop a love for reading in
the targeted age group while building loyalty
within the next generation of customers”.
To get your copy please contact Golden
Krust’s Marketing Department at 718-OKKRUST.
Stanley Dennis Appointed Gk’s Franchise
Advisory Council Chairman

ranchisees and franchisors are
bound together by mutual interests
and goals. Recognizing the importance of maintaining a strong relationship
with franchisees that fosters an open and
valuable exchange of information, Lowell
Hawthorne, President & CEO was quoted
as saying “the time has come for us
to revive the Franchise Advisory
Council within Golden Krust. I am
convinced that with a collaborative group of movers and shakers
within the system, we can move
the organization on to even greater heights.” To that end, he has
named long-standing franchisee Mr. Stanley Dennis as Chairman of the Franchise
Advisory Board. As the owner of two
continually successful Brooklyn based
franchises, Mr. Dennis has exhibited an
unparalleled commitment and passion,
coupled with a keen business sense and
particular sensitivity to the community he
serves. As Chairman of the Franchise Advisory Board, Mr. Dennis will direct the
board’s role of providing advice, direction, and acting as the business “hub” that
connects the franchisees to Golden Krust
Corporate and to each other.

Retail Division
Experiences
Explosive Growth
O
ver the last twelve months GK’s
Retail Department has taken wings
and is now poised to elevate the
company to unchartered levels of success.
Leveraging its strong brand equity and
the success of its frozen retail packages in
supermarkets and chain stores along the
north-east and mid-west regions of the United
States, Golden Krust is establishing a firm
footing in the retail market nationwide. The
new microwave-able packaging of the beef
and chicken patties
has caught the
attention of several
new
mainstream
distribution outlets.
Golden Krust’s frozen retail packaged
delights are now proudly displayed in
several frozen food isles in chain stores
such as Costco,
Pathmark, ShopRite,
Shoppers, Jewel Osco, Acme, Food 4Less,
Price Chopper, Woodmans and a host of
independent supermarkets, covering a wide
range of states. If this trend continues,
Golden Krust will soon have a presence in
most of the fifty United States. This is by no
means a small feat.
For 2012, it is expected that GK’s retail
division will expand explosively as a result of
the overwhelming amount of new distribution
outlets projected to come on board. There
is no stopping the retail segment as the
company intends to aggressively market
its products to institutions, supermarket
chains and will eventually be venturing
outside the national market. The company
is remaining true to
its vision of taking
the taste of the
Caribbean to the
world.

#5 Golden Krust began expanding its mini-bakery in Georgia run
by GK Co-Founder Jacqueline Robinson in the Spring of 2011. The
ground breaking ceremony which took place at our Stone Mountain
restaurant which currently houses the bakery, drew support from
many local elected officials and other well-wishers. The expansion
will enable Golden Krust to better serve the region with its freshly
baked breads, buns, cakes and other pastries.
