Health focused restaurant company experiences significant revenue gains as the integration of recent acquisitions begins to be reported
League City, Texas, Aug. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Muscle Maker, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRIL) the parent company of Muscle Maker Grill, Pokemoto and Superfit Foods, a fast-casual concept known for serving “healthier for you” meals today announced the posting of its second quarter 2021 financial results on August 16th for the 13-week period ending June 30, 2021.
Michael Roper, CEO of Muscle Maker, Inc., commented “this is an exciting time for Muscle Maker as we recently acquired the Pokemoto and Superfit Foods brands and are starting to see the benefit of these acquisitions on our top line revenue. We expect that these acquisitions will provide an opportunity to expand in the exciting ready-made healthy meal prep segment and trending Hawaiian Poke cuisine areas. We recently announced the official launch of franchising for Pokemoto and have already signed a three-location agreement for the Massachusetts market. Hawaiian poke is exploding in popularity. Combine this with the Pokemoto franchising model which we believe has low build out and labor costs, ease of operations, small footprints and an experienced franchise management team and we believe we have a winning combination that should be exciting to potential franchise partners.” These acquisitions bring the total open store count of all entities to 40 corporately owned and franchised locations with seven more locations that have signed leases and are under construction.
